27.83 is what percent of 389.52 - 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 389.52 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 389.52, so we can write it down as 100%=389.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=389.52
2) x%=27.83
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%=389.52/27.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.83 is what percent of 389.52

100%/x%=389.52/27.83
(100/x)*x=(389.52/27.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.9964067553*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.9964067553) to get x
100/13.9964067553=x
7.1446909016225=x
x=7.1446909016225

now we have:
