2524.75 is what percent of 101 - 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 101 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 101, so we can write it down as 100%=101.
4. We know, that x% equals 2524.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2524.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=101
2) x%=2524.75
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%=101/2524.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2524.75 is what percent of 101

100%/x%=101/2524.75
(100/x)*x=(101/2524.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.040003960788197*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.040003960788197) to get x
100/0.040003960788197=x
2499.7524752475=x
x=2499.7524752475

now we have:
2524.75 is 2499.7524752475% of 101
