12238.75 is what percent of 66000 - 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 66000 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 66000, so we can write it down as 100%=66000.
4. We know, that x% equals 12238.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=12238.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=66000
2) x%=12238.75
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%=66000/12238.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 12238.75 is what percent of 66000

(100/x)*x=(66000/12238.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3927075886018*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3927075886018) to get x
100/5.3927075886018=x
18.543560606061=x
x=18.543560606061

now we have:
