631.3 is what percent of 2300 - 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 2300 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 2300, so we can write it down as 100%=2300.
4. We know, that x% equals 631.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=631.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2300
2) x%=631.3
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%=2300/631.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 631.3 is what percent of 2300

100%/x%=2300/631.3
(100/x)*x=(2300/631.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6432757801362*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6432757801362) to get x
100/3.6432757801362=x
27.447826086957=x
x=27.447826086957

now we have:
631.3 is 27.447826086957% of 2300
