382.05 is what percent of 23.72 - 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 23.72 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 23.72, so we can write it down as 100%=23.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 382.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=382.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23.72
2) x%=382.05
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%=23.72/382.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 382.05 is what percent of 23.72

100%/x%=23.72/382.05
(100/x)*x=(23.72/382.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.062086114382934*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.062086114382934) to get x
100/0.062086114382934=x
1610.6661045531=x
x=1610.6661045531

now we have:
382.05 is 1610.6661045531% of 23.72
