1402.02 is what percent of 72325 - 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 72325 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 72325, so we can write it down as 100%=72325.
4. We know, that x% equals 1402.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1402.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=72325
2) x%=1402.02
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%=72325/1402.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1402.02 is what percent of 72325

100%/x%=72325/1402.02
(100/x)*x=(72325/1402.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=51.58628264932*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (51.58628264932) to get x
100/51.58628264932=x
1.938499827169=x
x=1.938499827169

now we have:
