7284.26 is what percent of 20115 - 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 20115 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 20115, so we can write it down as 100%=20115.
4. We know, that x% equals 7284.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7284.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=20115
2) x%=7284.26
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%=20115/7284.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7284.26 is what percent of 20115

100%/x%=20115/7284.26
(100/x)*x=(20115/7284.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.7614335567374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.7614335567374) to get x
100/2.7614335567374=x
36.213074819786=x
x=36.213074819786

now we have:
