8.76 is what percent of 36172.2 - 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 36172.2 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 36172.2, so we can write it down as 100%=36172.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 8.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=8.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36172.2
2) x%=8.76
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%=36172.2/8.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 8.76 is what percent of 36172.2

100%/x%=36172.2/8.76
(100/x)*x=(36172.2/8.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4129.2465753425*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4129.2465753425) to get x
100/4129.2465753425=x
0.024217492991856=x
x=0.024217492991856

now we have:
