275.12 is what percent of 863.39 - 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 863.39 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 863.39, so we can write it down as 100%=863.39.
4. We know, that x% equals 275.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=275.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=863.39
2) x%=275.12
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%=863.39/275.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 275.12 is what percent of 863.39

100%/x%=863.39/275.12
(100/x)*x=(863.39/275.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1382305902879*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1382305902879) to get x
100/3.1382305902879=x
31.865089936182=x
x=31.865089936182

now we have:
275.12 is 31.865089936182% of 863.39
