5468.75 is what percent of 140000 - 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 140000 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 140000, so we can write it down as 100%=140000.
4. We know, that x% equals 5468.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5468.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=140000
2) x%=5468.75
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%=140000/5468.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5468.75 is what percent of 140000

100%/x%=140000/5468.75
(100/x)*x=(140000/5468.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=25.6*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (25.6) to get x
100/25.6=x
3.90625=x
x=3.90625

now we have:
5468.75 is 3.90625% of 140000
