1372.41 is what percent of 4000 - 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 4000 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 4000, so we can write it down as 100%=4000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1372.41 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1372.41.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4000
2) x%=1372.41
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%=4000/1372.41
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1372.41 is what percent of 4000

100%/x%=4000/1372.41
(100/x)*x=(4000/1372.41)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.914580919696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.914580919696) to get x
100/2.914580919696=x
34.31025=x
x=34.31025

now we have:
1372.41 is 34.31025% of 4000
