840.93 is what percent of 2525 - 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 2525 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 2525, so we can write it down as 100%=2525.
4. We know, that x% equals 840.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=840.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2525
2) x%=840.93
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%=2525/840.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 840.93 is what percent of 2525

100%/x%=2525/840.93
(100/x)*x=(2525/840.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0026280427622*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0026280427622) to get x
100/3.0026280427622=x
33.304158415842=x
x=33.304158415842

now we have:
840.93 is 33.304158415842% of 2525
