270.2 is what percent of 7267.32 - 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 7267.32 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 7267.32, so we can write it down as 100%=7267.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 270.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=270.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7267.32
2) x%=270.2
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%=7267.32/270.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 270.2 is what percent of 7267.32

100%/x%=7267.32/270.2
(100/x)*x=(7267.32/270.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.896076980015*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.896076980015) to get x
100/26.896076980015=x
3.7180143436645=x
x=3.7180143436645

now we have:
