1.76 is what percent of 3.97 - 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 3.97 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 3.97, so we can write it down as 100%=3.97.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3.97
2) x%=1.76
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%=3.97/1.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.76 is what percent of 3.97

100%/x%=3.97/1.76
(100/x)*x=(3.97/1.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2556818181818*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2556818181818) to get x
100/2.2556818181818=x
44.332493702771=x
x=44.332493702771

now we have:
1.76 is 44.332493702771% of 3.97
