1145 is what percent of 3785 - 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 3785 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 3785, so we can write it down as 100%=3785.
4. We know, that x% equals 1145 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1145.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3785
2) x%=1145
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%=3785/1145
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1145 is what percent of 3785

100%/x%=3785/1145
(100/x)*x=(3785/1145)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.3056768558952*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.3056768558952) to get x
100/3.3056768558952=x
30.250990752972=x
x=30.250990752972

now we have:
1145 is 30.250990752972% of 3785
