2898.75 is what percent of 7320 - 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 7320 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 7320, so we can write it down as 100%=7320.
4. We know, that x% equals 2898.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2898.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7320
2) x%=2898.75
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%=7320/2898.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2898.75 is what percent of 7320

100%/x%=7320/2898.75
(100/x)*x=(7320/2898.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5252263906856*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5252263906856) to get x
100/2.5252263906856=x
39.600409836066=x
x=39.600409836066

now we have:
