329.3 is what percent of 2582.6 - 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 2582.6 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 2582.6, so we can write it down as 100%=2582.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 329.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=329.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2582.6
2) x%=329.3
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%=2582.6/329.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 329.3 is what percent of 2582.6

100%/x%=2582.6/329.3
(100/x)*x=(2582.6/329.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8426966292135*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8426966292135) to get x
100/7.8426966292135=x
12.750716332378=x
x=12.750716332378

now we have:
329.3 is 12.750716332378% of 2582.6
