819.36 is what percent of 2320 - 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 2320 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 2320, so we can write it down as 100%=2320.
4. We know, that x% equals 819.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=819.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2320
2) x%=819.36
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%=2320/819.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 819.36 is what percent of 2320

100%/x%=2320/819.36
(100/x)*x=(2320/819.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8314782269088*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8314782269088) to get x
100/2.8314782269088=x
35.31724137931=x
x=35.31724137931

now we have:
819.36 is 35.31724137931% of 2320
