377.03 is what percent of 1427.85 - 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 1427.85 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 1427.85, so we can write it down as 100%=1427.85.
4. We know, that x% equals 377.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=377.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1427.85
2) x%=377.03
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%=1427.85/377.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 377.03 is what percent of 1427.85

100%/x%=1427.85/377.03
(100/x)*x=(1427.85/377.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7870991698273*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7870991698273) to get x
100/3.7870991698273=x
26.405434744546=x
x=26.405434744546

now we have:
377.03 is 26.405434744546% of 1427.85
