2288 is what percent of 9 - 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 9 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 9, so we can write it down as 100%=9.
4. We know, that x% equals 2288 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2288.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9
2) x%=2288
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%=9/2288
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2288 is what percent of 9

100%/x%=9/2288
(100/x)*x=(9/2288)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0039335664335664*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0039335664335664) to get x
100/0.0039335664335664=x
25422.222222222=x
x=25422.222222222

now we have:
2288 is 25422.222222222% of 9
