524.17 is what percent of 2750 - 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 2750 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 2750, so we can write it down as 100%=2750.
4. We know, that x% equals 524.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=524.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2750
2) x%=524.17
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%=2750/524.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 524.17 is what percent of 2750

100%/x%=2750/524.17
(100/x)*x=(2750/524.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2463895301143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2463895301143) to get x
100/5.2463895301143=x
19.060727272727=x
x=19.060727272727

now we have:
524.17 is 19.060727272727% of 2750
