73 is what percent of 3.7638 - 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 3.7638 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 3.7638, so we can write it down as 100%=3.7638.
4. We know, that x% equals 73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.7638
2) x%=73
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%=3.7638/73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 73 is what percent of 3.7638

100%/x%=3.7638/73
(100/x)*x=(3.7638/73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.051558904109589*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.051558904109589) to get x
100/0.051558904109589=x
1939.5291992136=x
x=1939.5291992136

now we have:
73 is 1939.5291992136% of 3.7638
