89 is what percent of 2392 - 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 2392 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 2392, so we can write it down as 100%=2392.
4. We know, that x% equals 89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2392
2) x%=89
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%=2392/89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89 is what percent of 2392

100%/x%=2392/89
(100/x)*x=(2392/89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.876404494382*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.876404494382) to get x
100/26.876404494382=x
3.7207357859532=x
x=3.7207357859532

now we have:
89 is 3.7207357859532% of 2392
