72.96 is what percent of 2253 - 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 2253 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 2253, so we can write it down as 100%=2253.
4. We know, that x% equals 72.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=72.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2253
2) x%=72.96
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%=2253/72.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 72.96 is what percent of 2253

100%/x%=2253/72.96
(100/x)*x=(2253/72.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.879934210526*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.879934210526) to get x
100/30.879934210526=x
3.2383488681758=x
x=3.2383488681758

now we have:
72.96 is 3.2383488681758% of 2253
