5317.77 is what percent of 7272 - 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 7272 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 7272, so we can write it down as 100%=7272.
4. We know, that x% equals 5317.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5317.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7272
2) x%=5317.77
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%=7272/5317.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5317.77 is what percent of 7272

100%/x%=7272/5317.77
(100/x)*x=(7272/5317.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3674905082394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3674905082394) to get x
100/1.3674905082394=x
73.126650165017=x
x=73.126650165017

now we have:
5317.77 is 73.126650165017% of 7272
