5731.81 is what percent of 45500 - 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 45500 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 45500, so we can write it down as 100%=45500.
4. We know, that x% equals 5731.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5731.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45500
2) x%=5731.81
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%=45500/5731.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5731.81 is what percent of 45500

100%/x%=45500/5731.81
(100/x)*x=(45500/5731.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
