2115 is what percent of 3459.6 - 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 3459.6 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 3459.6, so we can write it down as 100%=3459.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 2115 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2115.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3459.6
2) x%=2115
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%=3459.6/2115
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2115 is what percent of 3459.6

100%/x%=3459.6/2115
(100/x)*x=(3459.6/2115)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6357446808511*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6357446808511) to get x
100/1.6357446808511=x
61.134235171696=x
x=61.134235171696

now we have:
2115 is 61.134235171696% of 3459.6
