637.8 is what percent of 38000 - 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 38000 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 38000, so we can write it down as 100%=38000.
4. We know, that x% equals 637.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=637.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=38000
2) x%=637.8
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%=38000/637.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 637.8 is what percent of 38000

100%/x%=38000/637.8
(100/x)*x=(38000/637.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=59.579805581687*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (59.579805581687) to get x
100/59.579805581687=x
1.6784210526316=x
x=1.6784210526316

now we have:
637.8 is 1.6784210526316% of 38000
