10.75 is what percent of 268.07 - 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 268.07 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 268.07, so we can write it down as 100%=268.07.
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%=268.07
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%=268.07/10.75
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 268.07

100%/x%=268.07/10.75
(100/x)*x=(268.07/10.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.936744186047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.936744186047) to get x
100/24.936744186047=x
4.0101466034991=x
x=4.0101466034991

now we have:
10.75 is 4.0101466034991% of 268.07
