709.08 is what percent of 3888 - 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 3888 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 3888, so we can write it down as 100%=3888.
4. We know, that x% equals 709.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=709.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3888
2) x%=709.08
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%=3888/709.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 709.08 is what percent of 3888

100%/x%=3888/709.08
(100/x)*x=(3888/709.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.4831612794043*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.4831612794043) to get x
100/5.4831612794043=x
18.237654320988=x
x=18.237654320988

now we have:
709.08 is 18.237654320988% of 3888
