318.75 is what percent of 2620.19 - 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 2620.19 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 2620.19, so we can write it down as 100%=2620.19.
4. We know, that x% equals 318.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=318.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2620.19
2) x%=318.75
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%=2620.19/318.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 318.75 is what percent of 2620.19

100%/x%=2620.19/318.75
(100/x)*x=(2620.19/318.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.2202039215686*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.2202039215686) to get x
100/8.2202039215686=x
12.165148328938=x
x=12.165148328938

now we have:
