385.25 is what percent of 2080 - 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 2080 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 2080, so we can write it down as 100%=2080.
4. We know, that x% equals 385.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=385.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2080
2) x%=385.25
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%=2080/385.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 385.25 is what percent of 2080

100%/x%=2080/385.25
(100/x)*x=(2080/385.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3990914990266*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3990914990266) to get x
100/5.3990914990266=x
18.521634615385=x
x=18.521634615385

now we have:
385.25 is 18.521634615385% of 2080
