3732.72 is what percent of 27000 - 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 27000 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 27000, so we can write it down as 100%=27000.
4. We know, that x% equals 3732.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3732.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27000
2) x%=3732.72
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%=27000/3732.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3732.72 is what percent of 27000

100%/x%=27000/3732.72
(100/x)*x=(27000/3732.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2333311901241*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2333311901241) to get x
100/7.2333311901241=x
13.824888888889=x
x=13.824888888889

now we have:
3732.72 is 13.824888888889% of 27000
