89.75 is what percent of 2803.91 - 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 2803.91 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 2803.91, so we can write it down as 100%=2803.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 89.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=89.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2803.91
2) x%=89.75
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%=2803.91/89.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 89.75 is what percent of 2803.91

100%/x%=2803.91/89.75
(100/x)*x=(2803.91/89.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.241337047354*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.241337047354) to get x
100/31.241337047354=x
3.2008873323324=x
x=3.2008873323324

now we have:
