23.21 is what percent of 790 - 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 790 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 790, so we can write it down as 100%=790.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=790
2) x%=23.21
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%=790/23.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.21 is what percent of 790

100%/x%=790/23.21
(100/x)*x=(790/23.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=34.037052994399*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (34.037052994399) to get x
100/34.037052994399=x
2.9379746835443=x
x=2.9379746835443

now we have:
23.21 is 2.9379746835443% of 790
