888.8 is what percent of 2701 - 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 2701 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 2701, so we can write it down as 100%=2701.
4. We know, that x% equals 888.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=888.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2701
2) x%=888.8
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%=2701/888.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 888.8 is what percent of 2701

100%/x%=2701/888.8
(100/x)*x=(2701/888.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0389288928893*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0389288928893) to get x
100/3.0389288928893=x
32.906330988523=x
x=32.906330988523

now we have:
888.8 is 32.906330988523% of 2701
