1178.69 is what percent of 2500 - 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 2500 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 2500, so we can write it down as 100%=2500.
4. We know, that x% equals 1178.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1178.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2500
2) x%=1178.69
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%=2500/1178.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1178.69 is what percent of 2500

100%/x%=2500/1178.69
(100/x)*x=(2500/1178.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.1209987358848*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1209987358848) to get x
100/2.1209987358848=x
47.1476=x
x=47.1476

now we have:
1178.69 is 47.1476% of 2500
