3059.9 is what percent of 21165 - 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 21165 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 21165, so we can write it down as 100%=21165.
4. We know, that x% equals 3059.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3059.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=21165
2) x%=3059.9
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%=21165/3059.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3059.9 is what percent of 21165

100%/x%=21165/3059.9
(100/x)*x=(21165/3059.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9168927089121*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9168927089121) to get x
100/6.9168927089121=x
14.457358847153=x
x=14.457358847153

now we have:
