12.74 is what percent of 548.166 - 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 548.166 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 548.166, so we can write it down as 100%=548.166.
4. We know, that x% equals 12.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=548.166
2) x%=12.74
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%=548.166/12.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12.74 is what percent of 548.166

100%/x%=548.166/12.74
(100/x)*x=(548.166/12.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=43.02715855573*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (43.02715855573) to get x
100/43.02715855573=x
2.3241134984658=x
x=2.3241134984658

now we have:
12.74 is 2.3241134984658% of 548.166
