3543.75 is what percent of 3602.5 - 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 3602.5 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 3602.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3602.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3543.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3543.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3602.5
2) x%=3543.75
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%=3602.5/3543.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3543.75 is what percent of 3602.5

100%/x%=3602.5/3543.75
(100/x)*x=(3602.5/3543.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0165784832451*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0165784832451) to get x
100/1.0165784832451=x
98.369188063845=x
x=98.369188063845

now we have:
