381.37 is what percent of 2693 - 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 2693 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 2693, so we can write it down as 100%=2693.
4. We know, that x% equals 381.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=381.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2693
2) x%=381.37
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%=2693/381.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 381.37 is what percent of 2693

100%/x%=2693/381.37
(100/x)*x=(2693/381.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.0613839578362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.0613839578362) to get x
100/7.0613839578362=x
14.161529892313=x
x=14.161529892313

now we have:
381.37 is 14.161529892313% of 2693
