9.25 is what percent of 2785 - 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 2785 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 2785, so we can write it down as 100%=2785.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2785
2) x%=9.25
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%=2785/9.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.25 is what percent of 2785

100%/x%=2785/9.25
(100/x)*x=(2785/9.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=301.08108108108*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (301.08108108108) to get x
100/301.08108108108=x
0.33213644524237=x
x=0.33213644524237

now we have:
9.25 is 0.33213644524237% of 2785
