81 is what percent of 2450 - 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 2450 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 2450, so we can write it down as 100%=2450.
4. We know, that x% equals 81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2450
2) x%=81
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%=2450/81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 81 is what percent of 2450

100%/x%=2450/81
(100/x)*x=(2450/81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=30.246913580247*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (30.246913580247) to get x
100/30.246913580247=x
3.3061224489796=x
x=3.3061224489796

now we have:
81 is 3.3061224489796% of 2450
