4874.33 is what percent of 6500 - 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 6500 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 6500, so we can write it down as 100%=6500.
4. We know, that x% equals 4874.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=4874.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6500
2) x%=4874.33
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%=6500/4874.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 4874.33 is what percent of 6500

100%/x%=6500/4874.33
(100/x)*x=(6500/4874.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3335166063849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3335166063849) to get x
100/1.3335166063849=x
74.989692307692=x
x=74.989692307692

now we have:
4874.33 is 74.989692307692% of 6500
