4444.13 is what percent of 17500 - 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 17500 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 17500, so we can write it down as 100%=17500.
4. We know, that x% equals 4444.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4444.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=17500
2) x%=4444.13
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%=17500/4444.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4444.13 is what percent of 17500

100%/x%=17500/4444.13
(100/x)*x=(17500/4444.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9377785978358*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9377785978358) to get x
100/3.9377785978358=x
25.395028571429=x
x=25.395028571429

now we have:
