974.73 is what percent of 23784 - 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 23784 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 23784, so we can write it down as 100%=23784.
4. We know, that x% equals 974.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=974.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=23784
2) x%=974.73
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%=23784/974.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 974.73 is what percent of 23784

100%/x%=23784/974.73
(100/x)*x=(23784/974.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.400603243975*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.400603243975) to get x
100/24.400603243975=x
4.0982593340061=x
x=4.0982593340061

now we have:
974.73 is 4.0982593340061% of 23784
