158.13 is what percent of 2750 - 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 2750 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 2750, so we can write it down as 100%=2750.
4. We know, that x% equals 158.13 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=158.13.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2750
2) x%=158.13
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%=2750/158.13
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 158.13 is what percent of 2750

100%/x%=2750/158.13
(100/x)*x=(2750/158.13)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.390754442547*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.390754442547) to get x
100/17.390754442547=x
5.7501818181818=x
x=5.7501818181818

now we have:
158.13 is 5.7501818181818% of 2750
