304.72 is what percent of 2759 - 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 2759 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 2759, so we can write it down as 100%=2759.
4. We know, that x% equals 304.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=304.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2759
2) x%=304.72
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%=2759/304.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 304.72 is what percent of 2759

100%/x%=2759/304.72
(100/x)*x=(2759/304.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.0542137043844*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.0542137043844) to get x
100/9.0542137043844=x
11.044581370062=x
x=11.044581370062

now we have:
304.72 is 11.044581370062% of 2759
