28.73 is what percent of 2062 - 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 2062 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 2062, so we can write it down as 100%=2062.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2062
2) x%=28.73
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%=2062/28.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.73 is what percent of 2062

100%/x%=2062/28.73
(100/x)*x=(2062/28.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=71.77166724678*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.77166724678) to get x
100/71.77166724678=x
1.3933074684772=x
x=1.3933074684772

now we have:
28.73 is 1.3933074684772% of 2062
