74.28 is what percent of 6307 - 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 6307 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 6307, so we can write it down as 100%=6307.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6307
2) x%=74.28
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%=6307/74.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.28 is what percent of 6307

100%/x%=6307/74.28
(100/x)*x=(6307/74.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=84.9084544965*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (84.9084544965) to get x
100/84.9084544965=x
1.1777390201364=x
x=1.1777390201364

now we have:
74.28 is 1.1777390201364% of 6307
