2104.21 is what percent of 8703.21 - 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 8703.21 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 8703.21, so we can write it down as 100%=8703.21.
4. We know, that x% equals 2104.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2104.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8703.21
2) x%=2104.21
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%=8703.21/2104.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2104.21 is what percent of 8703.21

(100/x)*x=(8703.21/2104.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1360938309389*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1360938309389) to get x
100/4.1360938309389=x
24.177401211737=x
x=24.177401211737

now we have:
