37.67 is what percent of 123.96 - 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 123.96 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 123.96, so we can write it down as 100%=123.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=123.96
2) x%=37.67
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%=123.96/37.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.67 is what percent of 123.96

100%/x%=123.96/37.67
(100/x)*x=(123.96/37.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2906822405097*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2906822405097) to get x
100/3.2906822405097=x
30.388835108099=x
x=30.388835108099

now we have:
37.67 is 30.388835108099% of 123.96
