1508.74 is what percent of 1403.4 - 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 1403.4 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 1403.4, so we can write it down as 100%=1403.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 1508.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1508.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1403.4
2) x%=1508.74
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%=1403.4/1508.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1508.74 is what percent of 1403.4

100%/x%=1403.4/1508.74
(100/x)*x=(1403.4/1508.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.93018015032411*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.93018015032411) to get x
100/0.93018015032411=x
107.5060567194=x
x=107.5060567194

now we have:
1508.74 is 107.5060567194% of 1403.4
