1142.73 is what percent of 2915 - 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 2915 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 2915, so we can write it down as 100%=2915.
4. We know, that x% equals 1142.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1142.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2915
2) x%=1142.73
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%=2915/1142.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1142.73 is what percent of 2915

100%/x%=2915/1142.73
(100/x)*x=(2915/1142.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5509087886027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5509087886027) to get x
100/2.5509087886027=x
39.201715265866=x
x=39.201715265866

now we have:
1142.73 is 39.201715265866% of 2915
