2008.45 is what percent of 7466.9 - 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 7466.9 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 7466.9, so we can write it down as 100%=7466.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 2008.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2008.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7466.9
2) x%=2008.45
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%=7466.9/2008.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2008.45 is what percent of 7466.9

100%/x%=7466.9/2008.45
(100/x)*x=(7466.9/2008.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7177425377779*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7177425377779) to get x
100/3.7177425377779=x
26.898043364716=x
x=26.898043364716

now we have:
