9.5 is what percent of 2.687 - 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 2.687 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 2.687, so we can write it down as 100%=2.687.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.687
2) x%=9.5
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%=2.687/9.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.5 is what percent of 2.687

100%/x%=2.687/9.5
(100/x)*x=(2.687/9.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.28284210526316*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.28284210526316) to get x
100/0.28284210526316=x
353.55414960923=x
x=353.55414960923

now we have:
9.5 is 353.55414960923% of 2.687
