2582.5 is what percent of 38847 - 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 38847 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 38847, so we can write it down as 100%=38847.
4. We know, that x% equals 2582.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2582.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38847
2) x%=2582.5
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%=38847/2582.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2582.5 is what percent of 38847

100%/x%=38847/2582.5
(100/x)*x=(38847/2582.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.042400774443*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.042400774443) to get x
100/15.042400774443=x
6.6478749967822=x
x=6.6478749967822

now we have:
