708.77 is what percent of 2603.2 - 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 2603.2 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 2603.2, so we can write it down as 100%=2603.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 708.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=708.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2603.2
2) x%=708.77
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%=2603.2/708.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 708.77 is what percent of 2603.2

100%/x%=2603.2/708.77
(100/x)*x=(2603.2/708.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.6728416834798*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.6728416834798) to get x
100/3.6728416834798=x
27.226874615857=x
x=27.226874615857

now we have:
708.77 is 27.226874615857% of 2603.2
