373.5 is what percent of 1395 - 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 1395 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 1395, so we can write it down as 100%=1395.
4. We know, that x% equals 373.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=373.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1395
2) x%=373.5
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%=1395/373.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 373.5 is what percent of 1395

100%/x%=1395/373.5
(100/x)*x=(1395/373.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.7349397590361*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.7349397590361) to get x
100/3.7349397590361=x
26.774193548387=x
x=26.774193548387

now we have:
373.5 is 26.774193548387% of 1395
