7480.3 is what percent of 7874 - 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 7874 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 7874, so we can write it down as 100%=7874.
4. We know, that x% equals 7480.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7480.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7874
2) x%=7480.3
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%=7874/7480.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7480.3 is what percent of 7874

100%/x%=7874/7480.3
(100/x)*x=(7874/7480.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0526315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0526315789474) to get x
100/1.0526315789474=x
95=x
x=95

now we have:
7480.3 is 95% of 7874
