377.52 is what percent of 1814.4 - 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 1814.4 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 1814.4, so we can write it down as 100%=1814.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 377.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=377.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1814.4
2) x%=377.52
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%=1814.4/377.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 377.52 is what percent of 1814.4

100%/x%=1814.4/377.52
(100/x)*x=(1814.4/377.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.8061029879212*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.8061029879212) to get x
100/4.8061029879212=x
20.806878306878=x
x=20.806878306878

now we have:
377.52 is 20.806878306878% of 1814.4
