370.15 is what percent of 1723.25 - 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 1723.25 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 1723.25, so we can write it down as 100%=1723.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 370.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=370.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1723.25
2) x%=370.15
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%=1723.25/370.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 370.15 is what percent of 1723.25

100%/x%=1723.25/370.15
(100/x)*x=(1723.25/370.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.6555450493043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.6555450493043) to get x
100/4.6555450493043=x
21.47976207747=x
x=21.47976207747

now we have:
