3.14 is what percent of 74000 - 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 74000 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 74000, so we can write it down as 100%=74000.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=74000
2) x%=3.14
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%=74000/3.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.14 is what percent of 74000

100%/x%=74000/3.14
(100/x)*x=(74000/3.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23566.878980892*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23566.878980892) to get x
100/23566.878980892=x
0.0042432432432432=x
x=0.0042432432432432

now we have:
3.14 is 0.0042432432432432% of 74000
