20797.2 is what percent of 21800 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 21800 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 21800, so we can write it down as 100%=21800.
4. We know, that x% equals 20797.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=20797.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21800
2) x%=20797.2
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=21800/20797.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 20797.2 is what percent of 21800

100%/x%=21800/20797.2
(100/x)*x=(21800/20797.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0482180293501*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0482180293501) to get x
100/1.0482180293501=x
95.4=x
x=95.4

now we have:
20797.2 is 95.4% of 21800
