28.76 is what percent of 324.95 - 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 324.95 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 324.95, so we can write it down as 100%=324.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=324.95
2) x%=28.76
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%=324.95/28.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.76 is what percent of 324.95

100%/x%=324.95/28.76
(100/x)*x=(324.95/28.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.298678720445*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.298678720445) to get x
100/11.298678720445=x
8.8505923988306=x
x=8.8505923988306

now we have:
28.76 is 8.8505923988306% of 324.95
