10.5 is what percent of 37.67 - 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 37.67 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 37.67, so we can write it down as 100%=37.67.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=37.67
2) x%=10.5
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%=37.67/10.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.5 is what percent of 37.67

100%/x%=37.67/10.5
(100/x)*x=(37.67/10.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.587619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.587619047619) to get x
100/3.587619047619=x
27.873639500929=x
x=27.873639500929

now we have:
10.5 is 27.873639500929% of 37.67
