4171.5 is what percent of 5772 - 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 5772 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 5772, so we can write it down as 100%=5772.
4. We know, that x% equals 4171.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4171.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=5772
2) x%=4171.5
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%=5772/4171.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4171.5 is what percent of 5772

100%/x%=5772/4171.5
(100/x)*x=(5772/4171.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.383674937073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.383674937073) to get x
100/1.383674937073=x
72.27130977131=x
x=72.27130977131

now we have:
4171.5 is 72.27130977131% of 5772
