101.48 is what percent of 3973 - 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 3973 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 3973, so we can write it down as 100%=3973.
4. We know, that x% equals 101.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=101.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3973
2) x%=101.48
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%=3973/101.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 101.48 is what percent of 3973

100%/x%=3973/101.48
(100/x)*x=(3973/101.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=39.15057154119*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (39.15057154119) to get x
100/39.15057154119=x
2.5542411276114=x
x=2.5542411276114

now we have:
101.48 is 2.5542411276114% of 3973
