8.88 is what percent of 2700 - 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 2700 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 2700, so we can write it down as 100%=2700.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2700
2) x%=8.88
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%=2700/8.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.88 is what percent of 2700

100%/x%=2700/8.88
(100/x)*x=(2700/8.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=304.05405405405*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (304.05405405405) to get x
100/304.05405405405=x
0.32888888888889=x
x=0.32888888888889

now we have:
8.88 is 0.32888888888889% of 2700
