74 is what percent of 1671 - 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 1671 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 1671, so we can write it down as 100%=1671.
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%=1671
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%=1671/74
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 1671

100%/x%=1671/74
(100/x)*x=(1671/74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.581081081081*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.581081081081) to get x
100/22.581081081081=x
4.4284859365649=x
x=4.4284859365649

now we have:
74 is 4.4284859365649% of 1671
