674.15 is what percent of 1847 - 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 1847 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 1847, so we can write it down as 100%=1847.
4. We know, that x% equals 674.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=674.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1847
2) x%=674.15
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%=1847/674.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 674.15 is what percent of 1847

100%/x%=1847/674.15
(100/x)*x=(1847/674.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7397463472521*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7397463472521) to get x
100/2.7397463472521=x
36.499729290742=x
x=36.499729290742

now we have:
674.15 is 36.499729290742% of 1847
