157.57 is what percent of 3769.09 - 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 3769.09 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 3769.09, so we can write it down as 100%=3769.09.
4. We know, that x% equals 157.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=157.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3769.09
2) x%=157.57
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%=3769.09/157.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 157.57 is what percent of 3769.09

100%/x%=3769.09/157.57
(100/x)*x=(3769.09/157.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.920099003617*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.920099003617) to get x
100/23.920099003617=x
4.1805847034695=x
x=4.1805847034695

now we have:
157.57 is 4.1805847034695% of 3769.09
