383.75 is what percent of 2950 - 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 2950 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 2950, so we can write it down as 100%=2950.
4. We know, that x% equals 383.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=383.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2950
2) x%=383.75
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%=2950/383.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 383.75 is what percent of 2950

100%/x%=2950/383.75
(100/x)*x=(2950/383.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6872964169381*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6872964169381) to get x
100/7.6872964169381=x
13.008474576271=x
x=13.008474576271

now we have:
383.75 is 13.008474576271% of 2950
