1306.25 is what percent of 6875 - 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 6875 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 6875, so we can write it down as 100%=6875.
4. We know, that x% equals 1306.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1306.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6875
2) x%=1306.25
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%=6875/1306.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1306.25 is what percent of 6875

100%/x%=6875/1306.25
(100/x)*x=(6875/1306.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2631578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2631578947368) to get x
100/5.2631578947368=x
19=x
x=19

now we have:
1306.25 is 19% of 6875
