10671.5 is what percent of 21870 - 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 21870 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 21870, so we can write it down as 100%=21870.
4. We know, that x% equals 10671.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10671.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21870
2) x%=10671.5
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%=21870/10671.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10671.5 is what percent of 21870

100%/x%=21870/10671.5
(100/x)*x=(21870/10671.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0493838729326*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0493838729326) to get x
100/2.0493838729326=x
48.795153177869=x
x=48.795153177869

now we have:
10671.5 is 48.795153177869% of 21870
