231.77 is what percent of 2673.25 - 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 2673.25 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 2673.25, so we can write it down as 100%=2673.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 231.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=231.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2673.25
2) x%=231.77
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%=2673.25/231.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 231.77 is what percent of 2673.25

100%/x%=2673.25/231.77
(100/x)*x=(2673.25/231.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.534063942702*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.534063942702) to get x
100/11.534063942702=x
8.6699710090714=x
x=8.6699710090714

now we have:
231.77 is 8.6699710090714% of 2673.25
