27.91 is what percent of 945 - 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 945 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 945, so we can write it down as 100%=945.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=945
2) x%=27.91
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%=945/27.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.91 is what percent of 945

100%/x%=945/27.91
(100/x)*x=(945/27.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.858831959871*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.858831959871) to get x
100/33.858831959871=x
2.9534391534392=x
x=2.9534391534392

now we have:
27.91 is 2.9534391534392% of 945
