2900.7 is what percent of 8430 - 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 8430 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 8430, so we can write it down as 100%=8430.
4. We know, that x% equals 2900.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2900.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8430
2) x%=2900.7
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%=8430/2900.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2900.7 is what percent of 8430

100%/x%=8430/2900.7
(100/x)*x=(8430/2900.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9061950563657*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9061950563657) to get x
100/2.9061950563657=x
34.409252669039=x
x=34.409252669039

now we have:
2900.7 is 34.409252669039% of 8430
