2123.5 is what percent of 31496 - 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 31496 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 31496, so we can write it down as 100%=31496.
4. We know, that x% equals 2123.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2123.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=31496
2) x%=2123.5
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%=31496/2123.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2123.5 is what percent of 31496

100%/x%=31496/2123.5
(100/x)*x=(31496/2123.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.832116788321*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.832116788321) to get x
100/14.832116788321=x
6.742125984252=x
x=6.742125984252

now we have:
2123.5 is 6.742125984252% of 31496
