1.73 is what percent of 115.32 - 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 115.32 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 115.32, so we can write it down as 100%=115.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=115.32
2) x%=1.73
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%=115.32/1.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.73 is what percent of 115.32

100%/x%=115.32/1.73
(100/x)*x=(115.32/1.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=66.658959537572*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (66.658959537572) to get x
100/66.658959537572=x
1.5001734304544=x
x=1.5001734304544

now we have:
1.73 is 1.5001734304544% of 115.32
