958.5 is what percent of 2370 - 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 2370 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 2370, so we can write it down as 100%=2370.
4. We know, that x% equals 958.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=958.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2370
2) x%=958.5
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%=2370/958.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 958.5 is what percent of 2370

100%/x%=2370/958.5
(100/x)*x=(2370/958.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.472613458529*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.472613458529) to get x
100/2.472613458529=x
40.443037974684=x
x=40.443037974684

now we have:
958.5 is 40.443037974684% of 2370
