237.73 is what percent of 3236 - 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 3236 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 3236, so we can write it down as 100%=3236.
4. We know, that x% equals 237.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=237.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3236
2) x%=237.73
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%=3236/237.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 237.73 is what percent of 3236

100%/x%=3236/237.73
(100/x)*x=(3236/237.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.61208093215*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.61208093215) to get x
100/13.61208093215=x
7.3464153275649=x
x=7.3464153275649

now we have:
237.73 is 7.3464153275649% of 3236
