802.8 is what percent of 20070 - 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 20070 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 20070, so we can write it down as 100%=20070.
4. We know, that x% equals 802.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=802.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20070
2) x%=802.8
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%=20070/802.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 802.8 is what percent of 20070

100%/x%=20070/802.8
(100/x)*x=(20070/802.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25) to get x
100/25=x
4=x
x=4

now we have:
802.8 is 4% of 20070
