3078.15 is what percent of 11750 - 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 11750 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 11750, so we can write it down as 100%=11750.
4. We know, that x% equals 3078.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3078.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11750
2) x%=3078.15
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%=11750/3078.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3078.15 is what percent of 11750

100%/x%=11750/3078.15
(100/x)*x=(11750/3078.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8172278803827*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8172278803827) to get x
100/3.8172278803827=x
26.197021276596=x
x=26.197021276596

now we have:
