374.3 is what percent of 15762.4 - 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 15762.4 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 15762.4, so we can write it down as 100%=15762.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 374.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=374.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15762.4
2) x%=374.3
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%=15762.4/374.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 374.3 is what percent of 15762.4

100%/x%=15762.4/374.3
(100/x)*x=(15762.4/374.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=42.111675126904*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.111675126904) to get x
100/42.111675126904=x
2.3746383799421=x
x=2.3746383799421

now we have:
374.3 is 2.3746383799421% of 15762.4
