0.73 is what percent of 17.54 - 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 17.54 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 17.54, so we can write it down as 100%=17.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17.54
2) x%=0.73
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%=17.54/0.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.73 is what percent of 17.54

100%/x%=17.54/0.73
(100/x)*x=(17.54/0.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.027397260274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.027397260274) to get x
100/24.027397260274=x
4.1619156214367=x
x=4.1619156214367

now we have:
0.73 is 4.1619156214367% of 17.54
