74.11 is what percent of 548.91 - 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 548.91 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 548.91, so we can write it down as 100%=548.91.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.11 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.11.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=548.91
2) x%=74.11
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%=548.91/74.11
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.11 is what percent of 548.91

100%/x%=548.91/74.11
(100/x)*x=(548.91/74.11)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.4066927540143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.4066927540143) to get x
100/7.4066927540143=x
13.50130258148=x
x=13.50130258148

now we have:
74.11 is 13.50130258148% of 548.91
