223.74 is what percent of 1000 - 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 1000 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 1000, so we can write it down as 100%=1000.
4. We know, that x% equals 223.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=223.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1000
2) x%=223.74
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%=1000/223.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 223.74 is what percent of 1000

100%/x%=1000/223.74
(100/x)*x=(1000/223.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4694734960222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4694734960222) to get x
100/4.4694734960222=x
22.374=x
x=22.374

now we have:
223.74 is 22.374% of 1000
