185.54 is what percent of 3062.5 - 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 3062.5 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 3062.5, so we can write it down as 100%=3062.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 185.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=185.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3062.5
2) x%=185.54
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%=3062.5/185.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 185.54 is what percent of 3062.5

100%/x%=3062.5/185.54
(100/x)*x=(3062.5/185.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.505874743991*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.505874743991) to get x
100/16.505874743991=x
6.0584489795918=x
x=6.0584489795918

now we have:
