1551.17 is what percent of 2702.38 - 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 2702.38 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 2702.38, so we can write it down as 100%=2702.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 1551.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1551.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2702.38
2) x%=1551.17
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%=2702.38/1551.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1551.17 is what percent of 2702.38

100%/x%=2702.38/1551.17
(100/x)*x=(2702.38/1551.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7421559210145*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7421559210145) to get x
100/1.7421559210145=x
57.400143577143=x
x=57.400143577143

now we have:
