1.75 is what percent of 46.02 - 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 46.02 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 46.02, so we can write it down as 100%=46.02.
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%=46.02
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%=46.02/1.75
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 46.02

100%/x%=46.02/1.75
(100/x)*x=(46.02/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=26.297142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (26.297142857143) to get x
100/26.297142857143=x
3.8026944806606=x
x=3.8026944806606

now we have:
1.75 is 3.8026944806606% of 46.02
