10.75 is what percent of 1661.25 - 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 1661.25 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 1661.25, so we can write it down as 100%=1661.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1661.25
2) x%=10.75
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%=1661.25/10.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.75 is what percent of 1661.25

100%/x%=1661.25/10.75
(100/x)*x=(1661.25/10.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=154.53488372093*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (154.53488372093) to get x
100/154.53488372093=x
0.64710308502634=x
x=0.64710308502634

now we have:
10.75 is 0.64710308502634% of 1661.25
