36.84 is what percent of 2.8 - 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 2.8 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 2.8, so we can write it down as 100%=2.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 36.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=36.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.8
2) x%=36.84
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%=2.8/36.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 36.84 is what percent of 2.8

100%/x%=2.8/36.84
(100/x)*x=(2.8/36.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.07600434310532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.07600434310532) to get x
100/0.07600434310532=x
1315.7142857143=x
x=1315.7142857143

now we have:
36.84 is 1315.7142857143% of 2.8
