277.25 is what percent of 9820 - 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 9820 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 9820, so we can write it down as 100%=9820.
4. We know, that x% equals 277.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=277.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9820
2) x%=277.25
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%=9820/277.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 277.25 is what percent of 9820

100%/x%=9820/277.25
(100/x)*x=(9820/277.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=35.419296663661*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (35.419296663661) to get x
100/35.419296663661=x
2.8233197556008=x
x=2.8233197556008

now we have:
277.25 is 2.8233197556008% of 9820
