375.9 is what percent of 2190.29 - 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 2190.29 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 2190.29, so we can write it down as 100%=2190.29.
4. We know, that x% equals 375.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=375.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2190.29
2) x%=375.9
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%=2190.29/375.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 375.9 is what percent of 2190.29

100%/x%=2190.29/375.9
(100/x)*x=(2190.29/375.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8267890396382*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8267890396382) to get x
100/5.8267890396382=x
17.162110953344=x
x=17.162110953344

now we have:
