341.85 is what percent of 2500 - 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 2500 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 2500, so we can write it down as 100%=2500.
4. We know, that x% equals 341.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=341.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2500
2) x%=341.85
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%=2500/341.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 341.85 is what percent of 2500

100%/x%=2500/341.85
(100/x)*x=(2500/341.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.3131490419775*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.3131490419775) to get x
100/7.3131490419775=x
13.674=x
x=13.674

now we have:
341.85 is 13.674% of 2500
