3855.19 is what percent of 6017.5 - 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 6017.5 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 6017.5, so we can write it down as 100%=6017.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 3855.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3855.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6017.5
2) x%=3855.19
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%=6017.5/3855.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3855.19 is what percent of 6017.5

100%/x%=6017.5/3855.19
(100/x)*x=(6017.5/3855.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5608828618045*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5608828618045) to get x
100/1.5608828618045=x
64.066306605733=x
x=64.066306605733

now we have:
