2554.49 is what percent of 75000 - 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 75000 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 75000, so we can write it down as 100%=75000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2554.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2554.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75000
2) x%=2554.49
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%=75000/2554.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2554.49 is what percent of 75000

100%/x%=75000/2554.49
(100/x)*x=(75000/2554.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=29.360067958771*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (29.360067958771) to get x
100/29.360067958771=x
3.4059866666667=x
x=3.4059866666667

now we have:
