3154.81 is what percent of 7500 - 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 7500 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 7500, so we can write it down as 100%=7500.
4. We know, that x% equals 3154.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3154.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7500
2) x%=3154.81
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%=7500/3154.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3154.81 is what percent of 7500

100%/x%=7500/3154.81
(100/x)*x=(7500/3154.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3773222476155*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3773222476155) to get x
100/2.3773222476155=x
42.064133333333=x
x=42.064133333333

now we have:
3154.81 is 42.064133333333% of 7500
