80 is what percent of 2593 - 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 2593 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 2593, so we can write it down as 100%=2593.
4. We know, that x% equals 80 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2593
2) x%=80
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%=2593/80
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80 is what percent of 2593

100%/x%=2593/80
(100/x)*x=(2593/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=32.4125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (32.4125) to get x
100/32.4125=x
3.0852294639414=x
x=3.0852294639414

now we have:
80 is 3.0852294639414% of 2593
