34.03 is what percent of 487.5 - 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 487.5 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 487.5, so we can write it down as 100%=487.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 34.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=34.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=487.5
2) x%=34.03
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%=487.5/34.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 34.03 is what percent of 487.5

100%/x%=487.5/34.03
(100/x)*x=(487.5/34.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.32559506318*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.32559506318) to get x
100/14.32559506318=x
6.9805128205128=x
x=6.9805128205128

now we have:
34.03 is 6.9805128205128% of 487.5
