837.2 is what percent of 3054.38 - 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 3054.38 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 3054.38, so we can write it down as 100%=3054.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 837.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=837.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3054.38
2) x%=837.2
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%=3054.38/837.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 837.2 is what percent of 3054.38

100%/x%=3054.38/837.2
(100/x)*x=(3054.38/837.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6483277591973*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6483277591973) to get x
100/3.6483277591973=x
27.40981803181=x
x=27.40981803181

now we have:
