0.75 is what percent of 74.65 - 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 74.65 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 74.65, so we can write it down as 100%=74.65.
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%=74.65
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%=74.65/0.75
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 74.65

100%/x%=74.65/0.75
(100/x)*x=(74.65/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=99.533333333333*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (99.533333333333) to get x
100/99.533333333333=x
1.0046885465506=x
x=1.0046885465506

now we have:
0.75 is 1.0046885465506% of 74.65
