3729.96 is what percent of 16500 - 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 16500 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 16500, so we can write it down as 100%=16500.
4. We know, that x% equals 3729.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3729.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16500
2) x%=3729.96
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%=16500/3729.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3729.96 is what percent of 16500

100%/x%=16500/3729.96
(100/x)*x=(16500/3729.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.4236399317955*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.4236399317955) to get x
100/4.4236399317955=x
22.605818181818=x
x=22.605818181818

now we have:
