1148.3 is what percent of 6432 - 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 6432 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 6432, so we can write it down as 100%=6432.
4. We know, that x% equals 1148.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1148.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6432
2) x%=1148.3
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%=6432/1148.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1148.3 is what percent of 6432

100%/x%=6432/1148.3
(100/x)*x=(6432/1148.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6013236958983*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6013236958983) to get x
100/5.6013236958983=x
17.852922885572=x
x=17.852922885572

now we have:
1148.3 is 17.852922885572% of 6432
