285.53 is what percent of 23040 - 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 23040 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 23040, so we can write it down as 100%=23040.
4. We know, that x% equals 285.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=285.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23040
2) x%=285.53
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%=23040/285.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 285.53 is what percent of 23040

100%/x%=23040/285.53
(100/x)*x=(23040/285.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=80.692046369909*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (80.692046369909) to get x
100/80.692046369909=x
1.2392795138889=x
x=1.2392795138889

now we have:
