700.51 is what percent of 3818.76 - 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 3818.76 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 3818.76, so we can write it down as 100%=3818.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 700.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=700.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3818.76
2) x%=700.51
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%=3818.76/700.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 700.51 is what percent of 3818.76

100%/x%=3818.76/700.51
(100/x)*x=(3818.76/700.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4513996945083*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4513996945083) to get x
100/5.4513996945083=x
18.343912683698=x
x=18.343912683698

now we have:
700.51 is 18.343912683698% of 3818.76
