395.25 is what percent of 2320 - 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 2320 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 2320, so we can write it down as 100%=2320.
4. We know, that x% equals 395.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=395.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2320
2) x%=395.25
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%=2320/395.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 395.25 is what percent of 2320

100%/x%=2320/395.25
(100/x)*x=(2320/395.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8697027197976*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8697027197976) to get x
100/5.8697027197976=x
17.036637931034=x
x=17.036637931034

now we have:
395.25 is 17.036637931034% of 2320
