174.16 is what percent of 2756.52 - 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 2756.52 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 2756.52, so we can write it down as 100%=2756.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 174.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=174.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2756.52
2) x%=174.16
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%=2756.52/174.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 174.16 is what percent of 2756.52

100%/x%=2756.52/174.16
(100/x)*x=(2756.52/174.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.827514928801*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.827514928801) to get x
100/15.827514928801=x
6.3181112417106=x
x=6.3181112417106

now we have:
174.16 is 6.3181112417106% of 2756.52
