4237.84 is what percent of 23750 - 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 23750 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 23750, so we can write it down as 100%=23750.
4. We know, that x% equals 4237.84 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4237.84.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23750
2) x%=4237.84
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%=23750/4237.84
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4237.84 is what percent of 23750

100%/x%=23750/4237.84
(100/x)*x=(23750/4237.84)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.6042700998622*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.6042700998622) to get x
100/5.6042700998622=x
17.843536842105=x
x=17.843536842105

now we have:
