3567.5 is what percent of 17670 - 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 17670 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 17670, so we can write it down as 100%=17670.
4. We know, that x% equals 3567.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3567.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17670
2) x%=3567.5
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%=17670/3567.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3567.5 is what percent of 17670

100%/x%=17670/3567.5
(100/x)*x=(17670/3567.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9530483531885*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9530483531885) to get x
100/4.9530483531885=x
20.189586870402=x
x=20.189586870402

now we have:
3567.5 is 20.189586870402% of 17670
