74.91 is what percent of 31465 - 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 31465 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 31465, so we can write it down as 100%=31465.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31465
2) x%=74.91
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%=31465/74.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.91 is what percent of 31465

100%/x%=31465/74.91
(100/x)*x=(31465/74.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=420.03737818716*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (420.03737818716) to get x
100/420.03737818716=x
0.23807405053234=x
x=0.23807405053234

now we have:
74.91 is 0.23807405053234% of 31465
