397.52 is what percent of 7252 - 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 7252 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 7252, so we can write it down as 100%=7252.
4. We know, that x% equals 397.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=397.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7252
2) x%=397.52
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%=7252/397.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 397.52 is what percent of 7252

100%/x%=7252/397.52
(100/x)*x=(7252/397.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.243107265043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.243107265043) to get x
100/18.243107265043=x
5.4815223386652=x
x=5.4815223386652

now we have:
397.52 is 5.4815223386652% of 7252
