106.75 is what percent of 2000 - 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 2000 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 2000, so we can write it down as 100%=2000.
4. We know, that x% equals 106.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=106.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2000
2) x%=106.75
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%=2000/106.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 106.75 is what percent of 2000

100%/x%=2000/106.75
(100/x)*x=(2000/106.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=18.735362997658*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (18.735362997658) to get x
100/18.735362997658=x
5.3375=x
x=5.3375

now we have:
106.75 is 5.3375% of 2000
