7597.14 is what percent of 18700 - 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 18700 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 18700, so we can write it down as 100%=18700.
4. We know, that x% equals 7597.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7597.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=18700
2) x%=7597.14
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%=18700/7597.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7597.14 is what percent of 18700

100%/x%=18700/7597.14
(100/x)*x=(18700/7597.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.4614525992676*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.4614525992676) to get x
100/2.4614525992676=x
40.626417112299=x
x=40.626417112299

now we have:
