0.95 is what percent of 15.75 - 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 15.75 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 15.75, so we can write it down as 100%=15.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.95 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.95.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=15.75
2) x%=0.95
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%=15.75/0.95
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.95 is what percent of 15.75

100%/x%=15.75/0.95
(100/x)*x=(15.75/0.95)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.578947368421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.578947368421) to get x
100/16.578947368421=x
6.031746031746=x
x=6.031746031746

now we have:
0.95 is 6.031746031746% of 15.75
