2490.75 is what percent of 3321 - 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 3321 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 3321, so we can write it down as 100%=3321.
4. We know, that x% equals 2490.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2490.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3321
2) x%=2490.75
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%=3321/2490.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2490.75 is what percent of 3321

100%/x%=3321/2490.75
(100/x)*x=(3321/2490.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3333333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3333333333333) to get x
100/1.3333333333333=x
75=x
x=75

now we have:
2490.75 is 75% of 3321
