209.2 is what percent of 3755 - 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 3755 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 3755, so we can write it down as 100%=3755.
4. We know, that x% equals 209.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=209.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3755
2) x%=209.2
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%=3755/209.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 209.2 is what percent of 3755

100%/x%=3755/209.2
(100/x)*x=(3755/209.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.949330783939*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.949330783939) to get x
100/17.949330783939=x
5.5712383488682=x
x=5.5712383488682

now we have:
209.2 is 5.5712383488682% of 3755
