14.75 is what percent of 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 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 75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.
4. We know, that x% equals 14.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=14.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75
2) x%=14.75
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%=75/14.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 14.75 is what percent of 75

100%/x%=75/14.75
(100/x)*x=(75/14.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.0847457627119*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.0847457627119) to get x
100/5.0847457627119=x
19.666666666667=x
x=19.666666666667

now we have:
14.75 is 19.666666666667% of 75
