7490.53 is what percent of 50 - 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 50 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 50, so we can write it down as 100%=50.
4. We know, that x% equals 7490.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7490.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=50
2) x%=7490.53
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%=50/7490.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7490.53 is what percent of 50

100%/x%=50/7490.53
(100/x)*x=(50/7490.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0066750950867295*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0066750950867295) to get x
100/0.0066750950867295=x
14981.06=x
x=14981.06

now we have:
7490.53 is 14981.06% of 50
