9297.38 is what percent of 47500 - 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 47500 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 47500, so we can write it down as 100%=47500.
4. We know, that x% equals 9297.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9297.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=47500
2) x%=9297.38
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%=47500/9297.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9297.38 is what percent of 47500

100%/x%=47500/9297.38
(100/x)*x=(47500/9297.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100/5.1089661818706=x
19.573431578947=x
x=19.573431578947

now we have:
