999.77 is what percent of 2250 - 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 2250 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 2250, so we can write it down as 100%=2250.
4. We know, that x% equals 999.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=999.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2250
2) x%=999.77
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%=2250/999.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 999.77 is what percent of 2250

100%/x%=2250/999.77
(100/x)*x=(2250/999.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2505176190524*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2505176190524) to get x
100/2.2505176190524=x
44.434222222222=x
x=44.434222222222

now we have:
999.77 is 44.434222222222% of 2250
