8.5 is what percent of 2547.97 - 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 2547.97 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 2547.97, so we can write it down as 100%=2547.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2547.97
2) x%=8.5
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%=2547.97/8.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.5 is what percent of 2547.97

100%/x%=2547.97/8.5
(100/x)*x=(2547.97/8.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=299.76117647059*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (299.76117647059) to get x
100/299.76117647059=x
0.33359890422572=x
x=0.33359890422572

now we have:
8.5 is 0.33359890422572% of 2547.97
