374.13 is what percent of 2175.17 - 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 2175.17 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 2175.17, so we can write it down as 100%=2175.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 374.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=374.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2175.17
2) x%=374.13
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%=2175.17/374.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 374.13 is what percent of 2175.17

100%/x%=2175.17/374.13
(100/x)*x=(2175.17/374.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8139416780264*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8139416780264) to get x
100/5.8139416780264=x
17.200034939798=x
x=17.200034939798

now we have:
374.13 is 17.200034939798% of 2175.17
