7613.75 is what percent of 47.5 - 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 47.5 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 47.5, so we can write it down as 100%=47.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 7613.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=7613.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47.5
2) x%=7613.75
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%=47.5/7613.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 7613.75 is what percent of 47.5

100%/x%=47.5/7613.75
(100/x)*x=(47.5/7613.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.006238712855032*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.006238712855032) to get x
100/0.006238712855032=x
16028.947368421=x
x=16028.947368421

now we have:
7613.75 is 16028.947368421% of 47.5
