696.4 is what percent of 28 - 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 28 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 28, so we can write it down as 100%=28.
4. We know, that x% equals 696.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=696.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28
2) x%=696.4
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%=28/696.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 696.4 is what percent of 28

100%/x%=28/696.4
(100/x)*x=(28/696.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.040206777713957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.040206777713957) to get x
100/0.040206777713957=x
2487.1428571429=x
x=2487.1428571429

now we have:
696.4 is 2487.1428571429% of 28
