23.15 is what percent of 675 - 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 675 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 675, so we can write it down as 100%=675.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=675
2) x%=23.15
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%=675/23.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.15 is what percent of 675

100%/x%=675/23.15
(100/x)*x=(675/23.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.157667386609*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.157667386609) to get x
100/29.157667386609=x
3.4296296296296=x
x=3.4296296296296

now we have:
23.15 is 3.4296296296296% of 675
