228.6 is what percent of 8908.6 - 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 8908.6 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 8908.6, so we can write it down as 100%=8908.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 228.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=228.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8908.6
2) x%=228.6
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%=8908.6/228.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 228.6 is what percent of 8908.6

100%/x%=8908.6/228.6
(100/x)*x=(8908.6/228.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=38.970253718285*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (38.970253718285) to get x
100/38.970253718285=x
2.5660597624767=x
x=2.5660597624767

now we have:
