327.86 is what percent of 2055.54 - 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 2055.54 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 2055.54, so we can write it down as 100%=2055.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 327.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=327.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2055.54
2) x%=327.86
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%=2055.54/327.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 327.86 is what percent of 2055.54

100%/x%=2055.54/327.86
(100/x)*x=(2055.54/327.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.2695662782895*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.2695662782895) to get x
100/6.2695662782895=x
15.950066649153=x
x=15.950066649153

now we have:
