1442.02 is what percent of 8250 - 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 8250 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 8250, so we can write it down as 100%=8250.
4. We know, that x% equals 1442.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1442.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8250
2) x%=1442.02
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%=8250/1442.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1442.02 is what percent of 8250

100%/x%=8250/1442.02
(100/x)*x=(8250/1442.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7211411769601*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7211411769601) to get x
100/5.7211411769601=x
17.47903030303=x
x=17.47903030303

now we have:
1442.02 is 17.47903030303% of 8250
