1293.5 is what percent of 7517 - 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 7517 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 7517, so we can write it down as 100%=7517.
4. We know, that x% equals 1293.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1293.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7517
2) x%=1293.5
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%=7517/1293.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1293.5 is what percent of 7517

100%/x%=7517/1293.5
(100/x)*x=(7517/1293.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8113645148821*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8113645148821) to get x
100/5.8113645148821=x
17.207662631369=x
x=17.207662631369

now we have:
1293.5 is 17.207662631369% of 7517
