873.6 is what percent of 2629.4 - 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 2629.4 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 2629.4, so we can write it down as 100%=2629.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 873.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=873.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2629.4
2) x%=873.6
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%=2629.4/873.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 873.6 is what percent of 2629.4

100%/x%=2629.4/873.6
(100/x)*x=(2629.4/873.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0098443223443*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0098443223443) to get x
100/3.0098443223443=x
33.224309728455=x
x=33.224309728455

now we have:
873.6 is 33.224309728455% of 2629.4
