28.64 is what percent of 83.64 - 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 83.64 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 83.64, so we can write it down as 100%=83.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=83.64
2) x%=28.64
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%=83.64/28.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.64 is what percent of 83.64

100%/x%=83.64/28.64
(100/x)*x=(83.64/28.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9203910614525*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9203910614525) to get x
100/2.9203910614525=x
34.241989478718=x
x=34.241989478718

now we have:
28.64 is 34.241989478718% of 83.64
