870.06 is what percent of 28021.14 - 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 28021.14 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 28021.14, so we can write it down as 100%=28021.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 870.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=870.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=28021.14
2) x%=870.06
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%=28021.14/870.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 870.06 is what percent of 28021.14

(100/x)*x=(28021.14/870.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.205985794083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.205985794083) to get x
100/32.205985794083=x
3.1050128581492=x
x=3.1050128581492

now we have:
