5484.8 is what percent of 3724 - 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 3724 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 3724, so we can write it down as 100%=3724.
4. We know, that x% equals 5484.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5484.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3724
2) x%=5484.8
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%=3724/5484.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5484.8 is what percent of 3724

100%/x%=3724/5484.8
(100/x)*x=(3724/5484.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.67896732788798*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.67896732788798) to get x
100/0.67896732788798=x
147.28249194415=x
x=147.28249194415

now we have:
5484.8 is 147.28249194415% of 3724
