3012.5 is what percent of 18912.5 - 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 18912.5 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 18912.5, so we can write it down as 100%=18912.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3012.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3012.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18912.5
2) x%=3012.5
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%=18912.5/3012.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3012.5 is what percent of 18912.5

100%/x%=18912.5/3012.5
(100/x)*x=(18912.5/3012.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.2780082987552*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.2780082987552) to get x
100/6.2780082987552=x
15.928618638467=x
x=15.928618638467

now we have:
