31744.9 is what percent of 750000 - 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 750000 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 750000, so we can write it down as 100%=750000.
4. We know, that x% equals 31744.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=31744.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=750000
2) x%=31744.9
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%=750000/31744.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 31744.9 is what percent of 750000

100%/x%=750000/31744.9
(100/x)*x=(750000/31744.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=23.625842261277*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (23.625842261277) to get x
100/23.625842261277=x
4.2326533333333=x
x=4.2326533333333

now we have:
31744.9 is 4.2326533333333% of 750000
