28 is what percent of 1094 - 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 1094 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 1094, so we can write it down as 100%=1094.
4. We know, that x% equals 28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1094
2) x%=28
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%=1094/28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28 is what percent of 1094

100%/x%=1094/28
(100/x)*x=(1094/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.071428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.071428571429) to get x
100/39.071428571429=x
2.5594149908592=x
x=2.5594149908592

now we have:
28 is 2.5594149908592% of 1094
