10.75 is what percent of 501.75 - 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 501.75 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 501.75, so we can write it down as 100%=501.75.
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%=501.75
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%=501.75/10.75
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 501.75

100%/x%=501.75/10.75
(100/x)*x=(501.75/10.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=46.674418604651*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (46.674418604651) to get x
100/46.674418604651=x
2.1425012456403=x
x=2.1425012456403

now we have:
10.75 is 2.1425012456403% of 501.75
