9498.17 is what percent of 36000 - 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 36000 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 36000, so we can write it down as 100%=36000.
4. We know, that x% equals 9498.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9498.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=36000
2) x%=9498.17
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%=36000/9498.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9498.17 is what percent of 36000

100%/x%=36000/9498.17
(100/x)*x=(36000/9498.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7902037971525*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7902037971525) to get x
100/3.7902037971525=x
26.383805555556=x
x=26.383805555556

now we have:
9498.17 is 26.383805555556% of 36000
