1672.3 is what percent of 3360 - 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 3360 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 3360, so we can write it down as 100%=3360.
4. We know, that x% equals 1672.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1672.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3360
2) x%=1672.3
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%=3360/1672.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1672.3 is what percent of 3360

100%/x%=3360/1672.3
(100/x)*x=(3360/1672.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0092088740059*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0092088740059) to get x
100/2.0092088740059=x
49.770833333333=x
x=49.770833333333

now we have:
1672.3 is 49.770833333333% of 3360
