28033.75 is what percent of 80000 - 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 80000 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 80000, so we can write it down as 100%=80000.
4. We know, that x% equals 28033.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28033.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80000
2) x%=28033.75
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%=80000/28033.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28033.75 is what percent of 80000

100%/x%=80000/28033.75
(100/x)*x=(80000/28033.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8537031256967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8537031256967) to get x
100/2.8537031256967=x
35.0421875=x
x=35.0421875

now we have:
28033.75 is 35.0421875% of 80000
