2502.5 is what percent of 7300 - 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 7300 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 7300, so we can write it down as 100%=7300.
4. We know, that x% equals 2502.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2502.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7300
2) x%=2502.5
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%=7300/2502.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2502.5 is what percent of 7300

100%/x%=7300/2502.5
(100/x)*x=(7300/2502.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.9170829170829*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.9170829170829) to get x
100/2.9170829170829=x
34.280821917808=x
x=34.280821917808

now we have:
2502.5 is 34.280821917808% of 7300
