372.71 is what percent of 1426.97 - 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 1426.97 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 1426.97, so we can write it down as 100%=1426.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 372.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=372.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1426.97
2) x%=372.71
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%=1426.97/372.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 372.71 is what percent of 1426.97

100%/x%=1426.97/372.71
(100/x)*x=(1426.97/372.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8286335220413*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8286335220413) to get x
100/3.8286335220413=x
26.11897937588=x
x=26.11897937588

now we have:
