1342.5 is what percent of 21358.2 - 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 21358.2 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 21358.2, so we can write it down as 100%=21358.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 1342.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1342.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21358.2
2) x%=1342.5
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%=21358.2/1342.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1342.5 is what percent of 21358.2

100%/x%=21358.2/1342.5
(100/x)*x=(21358.2/1342.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.909273743017*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.909273743017) to get x
100/15.909273743017=x
6.2856420484872=x
x=6.2856420484872

now we have:
1342.5 is 6.2856420484872% of 21358.2
