3624.8 is what percent of 8995 - 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 8995 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 8995, so we can write it down as 100%=8995.
4. We know, that x% equals 3624.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3624.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8995
2) x%=3624.8
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%=8995/3624.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3624.8 is what percent of 8995

100%/x%=8995/3624.8
(100/x)*x=(8995/3624.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4815162215846*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4815162215846) to get x
100/2.4815162215846=x
40.297943301834=x
x=40.297943301834

now we have:
3624.8 is 40.297943301834% of 8995
