56 is what percent of 7373 - 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 7373 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 7373, so we can write it down as 100%=7373.
4. We know, that x% equals 56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7373
2) x%=56
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%=7373/56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56 is what percent of 7373

100%/x%=7373/56
(100/x)*x=(7373/56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=131.66071428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (131.66071428571) to get x
100/131.66071428571=x
0.75952800759528=x
x=0.75952800759528

now we have:
56 is 0.75952800759528% of 7373
