1.75 is what percent of 2.32 - 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 2.32 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 2.32, so we can write it down as 100%=2.32.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.32
2) x%=1.75
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%=2.32/1.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.75 is what percent of 2.32

100%/x%=2.32/1.75
(100/x)*x=(2.32/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3257142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3257142857143) to get x
100/1.3257142857143=x
75.431034482759=x
x=75.431034482759

now we have:
1.75 is 75.431034482759% of 2.32
