73.09 is what percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000, so we can write it down as 100%=2000.
4. We know, that x% equals 73.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=73.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2000
2) x%=73.09
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%=2000/73.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 73.09 is what percent of 2000

100%/x%=2000/73.09
(100/x)*x=(2000/73.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.363524421946*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.363524421946) to get x
100/27.363524421946=x
3.6545=x
x=3.6545

now we have:
73.09 is 3.6545% of 2000
