4685.95 is what percent of 27000 - 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 27000 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 27000, so we can write it down as 100%=27000.
4. We know, that x% equals 4685.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4685.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=27000
2) x%=4685.95
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%=27000/4685.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4685.95 is what percent of 27000

100%/x%=27000/4685.95
(100/x)*x=(27000/4685.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7619052700093*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7619052700093) to get x
100/5.7619052700093=x
17.35537037037=x
x=17.35537037037

now we have:
4685.95 is 17.35537037037% of 27000
