673.4 is what percent of 48100 - 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 48100 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 48100, so we can write it down as 100%=48100.
4. We know, that x% equals 673.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=673.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48100
2) x%=673.4
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%=48100/673.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 673.4 is what percent of 48100

100%/x%=48100/673.4
(100/x)*x=(48100/673.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=71.428571428571*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (71.428571428571) to get x
100/71.428571428571=x
1.4=x
x=1.4

now we have:
673.4 is 1.4% of 48100
