43.43 is what percent of 2.688 - 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 2.688 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 2.688, so we can write it down as 100%=2.688.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.688
2) x%=43.43
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%=2.688/43.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.43 is what percent of 2.688

100%/x%=2.688/43.43
(100/x)*x=(2.688/43.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.061892700897997*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.061892700897997) to get x
100/0.061892700897997=x
1615.6994047619=x
x=1615.6994047619

now we have:
43.43 is 1615.6994047619% of 2.688
