73 is what percent of 57294 - 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 57294 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 57294, so we can write it down as 100%=57294.
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%=57294
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%=57294/73
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 57294

100%/x%=57294/73
(100/x)*x=(57294/73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=784.84931506849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (784.84931506849) to get x
100/784.84931506849=x
0.12741299263448=x
x=0.12741299263448

now we have:
