276.13 is what percent of 2416.18 - 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 2416.18 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 2416.18, so we can write it down as 100%=2416.18.
4. We know, that x% equals 276.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=276.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2416.18
2) x%=276.13
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%=2416.18/276.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 276.13 is what percent of 2416.18

100%/x%=2416.18/276.13
(100/x)*x=(2416.18/276.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.750153913012*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.750153913012) to get x
100/8.750153913012=x
11.428370402867=x
x=11.428370402867

now we have:
