3867.19 is what percent of 5250 - 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 5250 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 5250, so we can write it down as 100%=5250.
4. We know, that x% equals 3867.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3867.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5250
2) x%=3867.19
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%=5250/3867.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3867.19 is what percent of 5250

100%/x%=5250/3867.19
(100/x)*x=(5250/3867.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3575748799516*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3575748799516) to get x
100/1.3575748799516=x
73.660761904762=x
x=73.660761904762

now we have:
