288.35 is what percent of 2487 - 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 2487 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 2487, so we can write it down as 100%=2487.
4. We know, that x% equals 288.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=288.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2487
2) x%=288.35
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%=2487/288.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 288.35 is what percent of 2487

100%/x%=2487/288.35
(100/x)*x=(2487/288.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.6249349748569*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.6249349748569) to get x
100/8.6249349748569=x
11.59429030961=x
x=11.59429030961

now we have:
288.35 is 11.59429030961% of 2487
