2529.5 is what percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000, so we can write it down as 100%=2000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2529.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2529.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2000
2) x%=2529.5
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%=2000/2529.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2529.5 is what percent of 2000

100%/x%=2000/2529.5
(100/x)*x=(2000/2529.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.79067009290374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.79067009290374) to get x
100/0.79067009290374=x
126.475=x
x=126.475

now we have:
2529.5 is 126.475% of 2000
