387.09 is what percent of 1593.75 - 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 1593.75 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 1593.75, so we can write it down as 100%=1593.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 387.09 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=387.09.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1593.75
2) x%=387.09
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%=1593.75/387.09
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 387.09 is what percent of 1593.75

100%/x%=1593.75/387.09
(100/x)*x=(1593.75/387.09)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1172595520422*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1172595520422) to get x
100/4.1172595520422=x
24.288=x
x=24.288

now we have:
