1.75 is what percent of 2750 - 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 2750 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 2750, so we can write it down as 100%=2750.
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%=2750
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%=2750/1.75
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 2750

100%/x%=2750/1.75
(100/x)*x=(2750/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1571.4285714286*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1571.4285714286) to get x
100/1571.4285714286=x
0.063636363636364=x
x=0.063636363636364

now we have:
1.75 is 0.063636363636364% of 2750
