In a city of 37000 people, there are 14000 people under 25 years of age:
14000 is x% of 37000
we can write x% as x%2F100 and multiply it by 37000, and that product is equal to 14000
%28x%2F100%2937000=14000.....now solve for x
%28x%2F1cross%280%29cross%280%29%29370cross%280%29cross%280%29=14000
x%2A370+=14000
x++=14000%2F370
x=37.837837837837837837837837837838%
x++=37.837%
