2968.15 is what percent of 900 - 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 900 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 900, so we can write it down as 100%=900.
4. We know, that x% equals 2968.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2968.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=900
2) x%=2968.15
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%=900/2968.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2968.15 is what percent of 900

100%/x%=900/2968.15
(100/x)*x=(900/2968.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.30321917692839*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.30321917692839) to get x
100/0.30321917692839=x
329.79444444444=x
x=329.79444444444

now we have:
2968.15 is 329.79444444444% of 900
