273.95 is what percent of 295.87 - 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 295.87 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 295.87, so we can write it down as 100%=295.87.
4. We know, that x% equals 273.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=273.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=295.87
2) x%=273.95
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%=295.87/273.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 273.95 is what percent of 295.87

100%/x%=295.87/273.95
(100/x)*x=(295.87/273.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0800146012046*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0800146012046) to get x
100/1.0800146012046=x
92.591340791564=x
x=92.591340791564

now we have:
273.95 is 92.591340791564% of 295.87
