275.4 is what percent of 847.4 - 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 847.4 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 847.4, so we can write it down as 100%=847.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 275.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=275.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=847.4
2) x%=275.4
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%=847.4/275.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 275.4 is what percent of 847.4

100%/x%=847.4/275.4
(100/x)*x=(847.4/275.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.076978939724*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.076978939724) to get x
100/3.076978939724=x
32.499409959877=x
x=32.499409959877

now we have:
275.4 is 32.499409959877% of 847.4
