985.33 is what percent of 3603.6 - 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 3603.6 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 3603.6, so we can write it down as 100%=3603.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 985.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=985.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3603.6
2) x%=985.33
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%=3603.6/985.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 985.33 is what percent of 3603.6

100%/x%=3603.6/985.33
(100/x)*x=(3603.6/985.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6572518851552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6572518851552) to get x
100/3.6572518851552=x
27.342934842935=x
x=27.342934842935

now we have:
985.33 is 27.342934842935% of 3603.6
