7209.24 is what percent of 28009 - 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 28009 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 28009, so we can write it down as 100%=28009.
4. We know, that x% equals 7209.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7209.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28009
2) x%=7209.24
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%=28009/7209.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7209.24 is what percent of 28009

100%/x%=28009/7209.24
(100/x)*x=(28009/7209.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8851529426125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8851529426125) to get x
100/3.8851529426125=x
25.739012460281=x
x=25.739012460281

now we have:
