318.2 is what percent of 2644.92 - 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 2644.92 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 2644.92, so we can write it down as 100%=2644.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 318.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=318.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2644.92
2) x%=318.2
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%=2644.92/318.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 318.2 is what percent of 2644.92

100%/x%=2644.92/318.2
(100/x)*x=(2644.92/318.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.3121307353865*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.3121307353865) to get x
100/8.3121307353865=x
12.030609621463=x
x=12.030609621463

now we have:
