6243.23 is what percent of 8405 - 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 8405 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 8405, so we can write it down as 100%=8405.
4. We know, that x% equals 6243.23 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6243.23.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8405
2) x%=6243.23
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%=8405/6243.23
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6243.23 is what percent of 8405

100%/x%=8405/6243.23
(100/x)*x=(8405/6243.23)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3462582669548*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3462582669548) to get x
100/1.3462582669548=x
74.27995240928=x
x=74.27995240928

now we have:
6243.23 is 74.27995240928% of 8405
