305.76 is what percent of 2420 - 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 2420 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 2420, so we can write it down as 100%=2420.
4. We know, that x% equals 305.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=305.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2420
2) x%=305.76
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%=2420/305.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 305.76 is what percent of 2420

100%/x%=2420/305.76
(100/x)*x=(2420/305.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.9147043432758*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.9147043432758) to get x
100/7.9147043432758=x
12.634710743802=x
x=12.634710743802

now we have:
305.76 is 12.634710743802% of 2420
