28.77 is what percent of 89.46 - 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 89.46 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 89.46, so we can write it down as 100%=89.46.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=89.46
2) x%=28.77
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%=89.46/28.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.77 is what percent of 89.46

100%/x%=89.46/28.77
(100/x)*x=(89.46/28.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1094890510949*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1094890510949) to get x
100/3.1094890510949=x
32.159624413146=x
x=32.159624413146

now we have:
28.77 is 32.159624413146% of 89.46
