2297.44 is what percent of 42000 - 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 42000 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 42000, so we can write it down as 100%=42000.
4. We know, that x% equals 2297.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=2297.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=42000
2) x%=2297.44
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%=42000/2297.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 2297.44 is what percent of 42000

100%/x%=42000/2297.44
(100/x)*x=(42000/2297.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.281217354969*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.281217354969) to get x
100/18.281217354969=x
5.4700952380952=x
x=5.4700952380952

now we have:
2297.44 is 5.4700952380952% of 42000
