368.92 is what percent of 2135 - 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 2135 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 2135, so we can write it down as 100%=2135.
4. We know, that x% equals 368.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=368.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2135
2) x%=368.92
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%=2135/368.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 368.92 is what percent of 2135

100%/x%=2135/368.92
(100/x)*x=(2135/368.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7871625284615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7871625284615) to get x
100/5.7871625284615=x
17.27962529274=x
x=17.27962529274

now we have:
368.92 is 17.27962529274% of 2135
