0.23 is what percent of 2602.347 - 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 2602.347 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 2602.347, so we can write it down as 100%=2602.347.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2602.347
2) x%=0.23
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%=2602.347/0.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.23 is what percent of 2602.347

100%/x%=2602.347/0.23
(100/x)*x=(2602.347/0.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100/11314.552173913=x
0.0088381756929418=x
x=0.0088381756929418
