1 is what percent of 23735 - 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 23735 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 23735, so we can write it down as 100%=23735.
4. We know, that x% equals 1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23735
2) x%=1
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%=23735/1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1 is what percent of 23735

100%/x%=23735/1
(100/x)*x=(23735/1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23735*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23735) to get x
100/23735=x
0.0042131872761744=x
x=0.0042131872761744

now we have:
1 is 0.0042131872761744% of 23735
