2408.42 is what percent of 22880 - 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 22880 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 22880, so we can write it down as 100%=22880.
4. We know, that x% equals 2408.42 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2408.42.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22880
2) x%=2408.42
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%=22880/2408.42
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2408.42 is what percent of 22880

100%/x%=22880/2408.42
(100/x)*x=(22880/2408.42)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.5000041520997*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.5000041520997) to get x
100/9.5000041520997=x
10.526311188811=x
x=10.526311188811

now we have:
