3420.5 is what percent of 25387.3 - 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 25387.3 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 25387.3, so we can write it down as 100%=25387.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 3420.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3420.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=25387.3
2) x%=3420.5
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%=25387.3/3420.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3420.5 is what percent of 25387.3

100%/x%=25387.3/3420.5
(100/x)*x=(25387.3/3420.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4221020318667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4221020318667) to get x
100/7.4221020318667=x
13.473272069105=x
x=13.473272069105

now we have:
3420.5 is 13.473272069105% of 25387.3
