373.02 is what percent of 1039.64 - 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 1039.64 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 1039.64, so we can write it down as 100%=1039.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 373.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=373.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1039.64
2) x%=373.02
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%=1039.64/373.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 373.02 is what percent of 1039.64

100%/x%=1039.64/373.02
(100/x)*x=(1039.64/373.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7870891641199*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7870891641199) to get x
100/2.7870891641199=x
35.879727598015=x
x=35.879727598015

now we have:
373.02 is 35.879727598015% of 1039.64
