797.3 is what percent of 2988.76 - 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 2988.76 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 2988.76, so we can write it down as 100%=2988.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 797.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=797.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2988.76
2) x%=797.3
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%=2988.76/797.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 797.3 is what percent of 2988.76

100%/x%=2988.76/797.3
(100/x)*x=(2988.76/797.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7486015301643*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7486015301643) to get x
100/3.7486015301643=x
26.676615051058=x
x=26.676615051058

now we have:
