372.92 is what percent of 2012.37 - 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 2012.37 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 2012.37, so we can write it down as 100%=2012.37.
4. We know, that x% equals 372.92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=372.92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2012.37
2) x%=372.92
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%=2012.37/372.92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 372.92 is what percent of 2012.37

100%/x%=2012.37/372.92
(100/x)*x=(2012.37/372.92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3962512066931*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3962512066931) to get x
100/5.3962512066931=x
18.53138339371=x
x=18.53138339371

now we have:
