215.39 is what percent of 3474 - 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 3474 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 3474, so we can write it down as 100%=3474.
4. We know, that x% equals 215.39 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=215.39.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3474
2) x%=215.39
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%=3474/215.39
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 215.39 is what percent of 3474

100%/x%=3474/215.39
(100/x)*x=(3474/215.39)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.128882492223*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.128882492223) to get x
100/16.128882492223=x
6.2000575705239=x
x=6.2000575705239

now we have:
215.39 is 6.2000575705239% of 3474
