1.75 is what percent of 64.91 - 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 64.91 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 64.91, so we can write it down as 100%=64.91.
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%=64.91
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%=64.91/1.75
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 64.91

100%/x%=64.91/1.75
(100/x)*x=(64.91/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=37.091428571429*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (37.091428571429) to get x
100/37.091428571429=x
2.6960406716993=x
x=2.6960406716993

now we have:
1.75 is 2.6960406716993% of 64.91
