Answer: 50

Explanation:

37 is 74 percent of what number

We already have our first value 37 and the second value 74. Let's assume the unknown value is Y which answer we will find out.

As we have all the required values we need, Now we can put them in a simple mathematical formula as below:

STEP 1 37 = 74% × Y

STEP 2 37 = 74/100× Y

Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides of the equation by 74 we will arrive at:

STEP 3 Y = 37 × 10074

STEP 4 Y = 37 × 100 ÷ 74

STEP 5 Y = 50

Finally, we have found the value of Y which is 50 and that is our answer.
