101.75 is what percent of 2755 - 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 2755 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 2755, so we can write it down as 100%=2755.
4. We know, that x% equals 101.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=101.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2755
2) x%=101.75
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%=2755/101.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 101.75 is what percent of 2755

100%/x%=2755/101.75
(100/x)*x=(2755/101.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=27.076167076167*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (27.076167076167) to get x
100/27.076167076167=x
3.6932849364791=x
x=3.6932849364791

now we have:
101.75 is 3.6932849364791% of 2755
