28.76 is what percent of 81.05 - 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 81.05 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 81.05, so we can write it down as 100%=81.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=81.05
2) x%=28.76
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%=81.05/28.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.76 is what percent of 81.05

100%/x%=81.05/28.76
(100/x)*x=(81.05/28.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8181502086231*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8181502086231) to get x
100/2.8181502086231=x
35.484268969772=x
x=35.484268969772

now we have:
28.76 is 35.484268969772% of 81.05
