0.75 is what percent of 0.95 - 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 0.95 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 0.95, so we can write it down as 100%=0.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.95
2) x%=0.75
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%=0.95/0.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.75 is what percent of 0.95

100%/x%=0.95/0.75
(100/x)*x=(0.95/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2666666666667) to get x
100/1.2666666666667=x
78.947368421053=x
x=78.947368421053

now we have:
0.75 is 78.947368421053% of 0.95
