28 is what percent of 2832 - 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 2832 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 2832, so we can write it down as 100%=2832.
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%=2832
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%=2832/28
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 2832

100%/x%=2832/28
(100/x)*x=(2832/28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=101.14285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (101.14285714286) to get x
100/101.14285714286=x
0.98870056497175=x
x=0.98870056497175

now we have:
28 is 0.98870056497175% of 2832
