273.14 is what percent of 3723.47 - 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 3723.47 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 3723.47, so we can write it down as 100%=3723.47.
4. We know, that x% equals 273.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=273.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3723.47
2) x%=273.14
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%=3723.47/273.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 273.14 is what percent of 3723.47

100%/x%=3723.47/273.14
(100/x)*x=(3723.47/273.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.63209343194*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.63209343194) to get x
100/13.63209343194=x
7.3356304737248=x
x=7.3356304737248

now we have:
