2740.48 is what percent of 27000 - 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 27000 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 27000, so we can write it down as 100%=27000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2740.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2740.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27000
2) x%=2740.48
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%=27000/2740.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2740.48 is what percent of 27000

100%/x%=27000/2740.48
(100/x)*x=(27000/2740.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.8522886501635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.8522886501635) to get x
100/9.8522886501635=x
10.149925925926=x
x=10.149925925926

now we have:
2740.48 is 10.149925925926% of 27000
