65.76 is what percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000, so we can write it down as 100%=2000.
4. We know, that x% equals 65.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=65.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2000
2) x%=65.76
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%=2000/65.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 65.76 is what percent of 2000

100%/x%=2000/65.76
(100/x)*x=(2000/65.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.413625304136*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.413625304136) to get x
100/30.413625304136=x
3.288=x
x=3.288

now we have:
65.76 is 3.288% of 2000
