1.75 is what percent of 2643 - 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 2643 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 2643, so we can write it down as 100%=2643.
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%=2643
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%=2643/1.75
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 2643

100%/x%=2643/1.75
(100/x)*x=(2643/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1510.2857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1510.2857142857) to get x
100/1510.2857142857=x
0.066212637154748=x
x=0.066212637154748

now we have:
1.75 is 0.066212637154748% of 2643
