112.7 is what percent of 750 - 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 750 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 750, so we can write it down as 100%=750.
4. We know, that x% equals 112.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=112.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=750
2) x%=112.7
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%=750/112.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 112.7 is what percent of 750

100%/x%=750/112.7
(100/x)*x=(750/112.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.6548358473824*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.6548358473824) to get x
100/6.6548358473824=x
15.026666666667=x
x=15.026666666667

now we have:
112.7 is 15.026666666667% of 750
