1114.99 is what percent of 1504 - 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 1504 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 1504, so we can write it down as 100%=1504.
4. We know, that x% equals 1114.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1114.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1504
2) x%=1114.99
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%=1504/1114.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1114.99 is what percent of 1504

100%/x%=1504/1114.99
(100/x)*x=(1504/1114.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3488910214441*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3488910214441) to get x
100/1.3488910214441=x
74.134973404255=x
x=74.134973404255

now we have:
1114.99 is 74.134973404255% of 1504
