2442.22 is what percent of 3285 - 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 3285 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 3285, so we can write it down as 100%=3285.
4. We know, that x% equals 2442.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2442.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3285
2) x%=2442.22
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%=3285/2442.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2442.22 is what percent of 3285

100%/x%=3285/2442.22
(100/x)*x=(3285/2442.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3450876661398*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3450876661398) to get x
100/1.3450876661398=x
74.344596651446=x
x=74.344596651446

now we have:
2442.22 is 74.344596651446% of 3285
