637.35 is what percent of 2400 - 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 2400 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 2400, so we can write it down as 100%=2400.
4. We know, that x% equals 637.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=637.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2400
2) x%=637.35
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%=2400/637.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 637.35 is what percent of 2400

100%/x%=2400/637.35
(100/x)*x=(2400/637.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7655919039774*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7655919039774) to get x
100/3.7655919039774=x
26.55625=x
x=26.55625

now we have:
637.35 is 26.55625% of 2400
