7172.75 is what percent of 8165 - 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 8165 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 8165, so we can write it down as 100%=8165.
4. We know, that x% equals 7172.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7172.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=8165
2) x%=7172.75
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%=8165/7172.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7172.75 is what percent of 8165

100%/x%=8165/7172.75
(100/x)*x=(8165/7172.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1383360635739*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1383360635739) to get x
100/1.1383360635739=x
87.847519902021=x
x=87.847519902021

now we have:
7172.75 is 87.847519902021% of 8165
