2240.43 is what percent of 3007 - 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 3007 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 3007, so we can write it down as 100%=3007.
4. We know, that x% equals 2240.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2240.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3007
2) x%=2240.43
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%=3007/2240.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2240.43 is what percent of 3007

100%/x%=3007/2240.43
(100/x)*x=(3007/2240.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3421530688305*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3421530688305) to get x
100/1.3421530688305=x
74.507149983372=x
x=74.507149983372

now we have:
2240.43 is 74.507149983372% of 3007
