74 is what percent of 12193 - 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 12193 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 12193, so we can write it down as 100%=12193.
4. We know, that x% equals 74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=12193
2) x%=74
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%=12193/74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74 is what percent of 12193

100%/x%=12193/74
(100/x)*x=(12193/74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=164.77027027027*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (164.77027027027) to get x
100/164.77027027027=x
0.60690560157467=x
x=0.60690560157467

now we have:
74 is 0.60690560157467% of 12193
