790.21 is what percent of 3240 - 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 3240 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 3240, so we can write it down as 100%=3240.
4. We know, that x% equals 790.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=790.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3240
2) x%=790.21
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%=3240/790.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 790.21 is what percent of 3240

100%/x%=3240/790.21
(100/x)*x=(3240/790.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1001759026082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1001759026082) to get x
100/4.1001759026082=x
24.389197530864=x
x=24.389197530864

now we have:
790.21 is 24.389197530864% of 3240
