267.91 is what percent of 2786.08 - 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 2786.08 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 2786.08, so we can write it down as 100%=2786.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 267.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=267.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2786.08
2) x%=267.91
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%=2786.08/267.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 267.91 is what percent of 2786.08

100%/x%=2786.08/267.91
(100/x)*x=(2786.08/267.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.399313202195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.399313202195) to get x
100/10.399313202195=x
9.6160196404985=x
x=9.6160196404985

now we have:
267.91 is 9.6160196404985% of 2786.08
