2821.5 is what percent of 2948.5 - 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 2948.5 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 2948.5, so we can write it down as 100%=2948.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 2821.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2821.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2948.5
2) x%=2821.5
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%=2948.5/2821.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2821.5 is what percent of 2948.5

100%/x%=2948.5/2821.5
(100/x)*x=(2948.5/2821.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0450115186957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0450115186957) to get x
100/1.0450115186957=x
95.692725114465=x
x=95.692725114465

now we have:
