384.62 is what percent of 23000 - 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 23000 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 23000, so we can write it down as 100%=23000.
4. We know, that x% equals 384.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=384.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23000
2) x%=384.62
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%=23000/384.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 384.62 is what percent of 23000

100%/x%=23000/384.62
(100/x)*x=(23000/384.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=59.799282408611*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (59.799282408611) to get x
100/59.799282408611=x
1.6722608695652=x
x=1.6722608695652

now we have:
384.62 is 1.6722608695652% of 23000
