6390.5 is what percent of 74000 - 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 74000 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 74000, so we can write it down as 100%=74000.
4. We know, that x% equals 6390.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6390.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=74000
2) x%=6390.5
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%=74000/6390.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6390.5 is what percent of 74000

100%/x%=74000/6390.5
(100/x)*x=(74000/6390.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.579688600266*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.579688600266) to get x
100/11.579688600266=x
8.6358108108108=x
x=8.6358108108108

now we have:
6390.5 is 8.6358108108108% of 74000
