608.48 is what percent of 2008.73 - 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 2008.73 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 2008.73, so we can write it down as 100%=2008.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 608.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=608.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2008.73
2) x%=608.48
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%=2008.73/608.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 608.48 is what percent of 2008.73

100%/x%=2008.73/608.48
(100/x)*x=(2008.73/608.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3012260057849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3012260057849) to get x
100/3.3012260057849=x
30.291776396031=x
x=30.291776396031

now we have:
608.48 is 30.291776396031% of 2008.73
