3342.92 is what percent of 5732 - 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 5732 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 5732, so we can write it down as 100%=5732.
4. We know, that x% equals 3342.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3342.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5732
2) x%=3342.92
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%=5732/3342.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3342.92 is what percent of 5732

100%/x%=5732/3342.92
(100/x)*x=(5732/3342.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7146686130688*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7146686130688) to get x
100/1.7146686130688=x
58.320307048151=x
x=58.320307048151

now we have:
3342.92 is 58.320307048151% of 5732
