88.54 is what percent of 2420 - 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 2420 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 2420, so we can write it down as 100%=2420.
4. We know, that x% equals 88.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2420
2) x%=88.54
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%=2420/88.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88.54 is what percent of 2420

100%/x%=2420/88.54
(100/x)*x=(2420/88.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.332279195844*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.332279195844) to get x
100/27.332279195844=x
3.6586776859504=x
x=3.6586776859504

now we have:
88.54 is 3.6586776859504% of 2420
