831.66 is what percent of 2495 - 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 2495 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 2495, so we can write it down as 100%=2495.
4. We know, that x% equals 831.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=831.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2495
2) x%=831.66
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%=2495/831.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 831.66 is what percent of 2495

100%/x%=2495/831.66
(100/x)*x=(2495/831.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.000024048289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.000024048289) to get x
100/3.000024048289=x
33.333066132265=x
x=33.333066132265

now we have:
831.66 is 33.333066132265% of 2495
