2042.75 is what percent of 21203 - 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 21203 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 21203, so we can write it down as 100%=21203.
4. We know, that x% equals 2042.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2042.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21203
2) x%=2042.75
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%=21203/2042.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2042.75 is what percent of 21203

100%/x%=21203/2042.75
(100/x)*x=(21203/2042.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.379635295557*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.379635295557) to get x
100/10.379635295557=x
9.6342498703014=x
x=9.6342498703014

now we have:
