27.27 is what percent of 293.27 - 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 293.27 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 293.27, so we can write it down as 100%=293.27.
4. We know, that x% equals 27.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=27.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=293.27
2) x%=27.27
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%=293.27/27.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 27.27 is what percent of 293.27

100%/x%=293.27/27.27
(100/x)*x=(293.27/27.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.75430876421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.75430876421) to get x
100/10.75430876421=x
9.298598561053=x
x=9.298598561053

now we have:
