73.73 is what percent of 52.54 - 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 52.54 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 52.54, so we can write it down as 100%=52.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 73.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=73.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=52.54
2) x%=73.73
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%=52.54/73.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 73.73 is what percent of 52.54

100%/x%=52.54/73.73
(100/x)*x=(52.54/73.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.712600027126*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.712600027126) to get x
100/0.712600027126=x
140.33117624667=x
x=140.33117624667

now we have:
73.73 is 140.33117624667% of 52.54
