5231.57 is what percent of 7535 - 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 7535 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 7535, so we can write it down as 100%=7535.
4. We know, that x% equals 5231.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5231.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7535
2) x%=5231.57
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%=7535/5231.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5231.57 is what percent of 7535

100%/x%=7535/5231.57
(100/x)*x=(7535/5231.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4402942137829*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4402942137829) to get x
100/1.4402942137829=x
69.430258792303=x
x=69.430258792303

now we have:
5231.57 is 69.430258792303% of 7535
