80 is what percent of 2110 - 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 2110 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 2110, so we can write it down as 100%=2110.
4. We know, that x% equals 80 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2110
2) x%=80
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%=2110/80
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80 is what percent of 2110

100%/x%=2110/80
(100/x)*x=(2110/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.375) to get x
100/26.375=x
3.7914691943128=x
x=3.7914691943128

now we have:
80 is 3.7914691943128% of 2110
