9744.75 is what percent of 40960 - 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 40960 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 40960, so we can write it down as 100%=40960.
4. We know, that x% equals 9744.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9744.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=40960
2) x%=9744.75
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%=40960/9744.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9744.75 is what percent of 40960

100%/x%=40960/9744.75
(100/x)*x=(40960/9744.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2032889504605*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2032889504605) to get x
100/4.2032889504605=x
23.790893554688=x
x=23.790893554688

now we have:
