3990.24 is what percent of 8313 - 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 8313 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 8313, so we can write it down as 100%=8313.
4. We know, that x% equals 3990.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3990.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8313
2) x%=3990.24
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%=8313/3990.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3990.24 is what percent of 8313

100%/x%=8313/3990.24
(100/x)*x=(8313/3990.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0833333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0833333333333) to get x
100/2.0833333333333=x
48=x
x=48

now we have:
3990.24 is 48% of 8313
