271.54 is what percent of 36500 - 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 36500 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 36500, so we can write it down as 100%=36500.
4. We know, that x% equals 271.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=271.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36500
2) x%=271.54
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%=36500/271.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 271.54 is what percent of 36500

100%/x%=36500/271.54
(100/x)*x=(36500/271.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=134.41850187818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (134.41850187818) to get x
100/134.41850187818=x
0.74394520547945=x
x=0.74394520547945

now we have:
271.54 is 0.74394520547945% of 36500
