37.74 is what percent of 36.82 - 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 36.82 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 36.82, so we can write it down as 100%=36.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36.82
2) x%=37.74
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%=36.82/37.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.74 is what percent of 36.82

100%/x%=36.82/37.74
(100/x)*x=(36.82/37.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97562268150503*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97562268150503) to get x
100/0.97562268150503=x
102.49864204237=x
x=102.49864204237

now we have:
37.74 is 102.49864204237% of 36.82
