217.2 is what percent of 10368 - 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 10368 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 10368, so we can write it down as 100%=10368.
4. We know, that x% equals 217.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=217.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10368
2) x%=217.2
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%=10368/217.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 217.2 is what percent of 10368

100%/x%=10368/217.2
(100/x)*x=(10368/217.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=47.734806629834*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (47.734806629834) to get x
100/47.734806629834=x
2.0949074074074=x
x=2.0949074074074

now we have:
217.2 is 2.0949074074074% of 10368
