0.75 is what percent of 115000 - 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 115000 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 115000, so we can write it down as 100%=115000.
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%=115000
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%=115000/0.75
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 115000

100%/x%=115000/0.75
(100/x)*x=(115000/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=153333.33333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (153333.33333333) to get x
100/153333.33333333=x
0.00065217391304348=x
x=0.00065217391304348

now we have:
0.75 is 0.00065217391304348% of 115000
