7385.77 is what percent of 16.25 - 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 16.25 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 16.25, so we can write it down as 100%=16.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 7385.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7385.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.25
2) x%=7385.77
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%=16.25/7385.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7385.77 is what percent of 16.25

100%/x%=16.25/7385.77
(100/x)*x=(16.25/7385.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0022001768265191*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0022001768265191) to get x
100/0.0022001768265191=x
45450.892307692=x
x=45450.892307692

now we have:
7385.77 is 45450.892307692% of 16.25
