64.33 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 64.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2400
2) x%=64.33
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%=2400/64.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.33 is what percent of 2400

100%/x%=2400/64.33
(100/x)*x=(2400/64.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.30763251982*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.30763251982) to get x
100/37.30763251982=x
2.6804166666667=x
x=2.6804166666667

now we have:
64.33 is 2.6804166666667% of 2400
