34 is what percent of 2269 - 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 2269 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 2269, so we can write it down as 100%=2269.
4. We know, that x% equals 34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2269
2) x%=34
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%=2269/34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34 is what percent of 2269

100%/x%=2269/34
(100/x)*x=(2269/34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.735294117647*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.735294117647) to get x
100/66.735294117647=x
1.4984574702512=x
x=1.4984574702512

now we have:
34 is 1.4984574702512% of 2269
