237.65 is what percent of 1695 - 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 1695 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 1695, so we can write it down as 100%=1695.
4. We know, that x% equals 237.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=237.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1695
2) x%=237.65
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%=1695/237.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 237.65 is what percent of 1695

100%/x%=1695/237.65
(100/x)*x=(1695/237.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.1323374710709*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.1323374710709) to get x
100/7.1323374710709=x
14.020648967552=x
x=14.020648967552

now we have:
237.65 is 14.020648967552% of 1695
