173.94 is what percent of 3713 - 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 3713 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 3713, so we can write it down as 100%=3713.
4. We know, that x% equals 173.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=173.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3713
2) x%=173.94
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%=3713/173.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 173.94 is what percent of 3713

100%/x%=3713/173.94
(100/x)*x=(3713/173.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=21.346441301598*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (21.346441301598) to get x
100/21.346441301598=x
4.6846215997845=x
x=4.6846215997845

now we have:
173.94 is 4.6846215997845% of 3713
