4782.52 is what percent of 23640 - 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 23640 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 23640, so we can write it down as 100%=23640.
4. We know, that x% equals 4782.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4782.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23640
2) x%=4782.52
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%=23640/4782.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4782.52 is what percent of 23640

100%/x%=23640/4782.52
(100/x)*x=(23640/4782.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.943000761105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.943000761105) to get x
100/4.943000761105=x
20.23062605753=x
x=20.23062605753

now we have:
