1780.02 is what percent of 75000 - 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 75000 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 75000, so we can write it down as 100%=75000.
4. We know, that x% equals 1780.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1780.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75000
2) x%=1780.02
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%=75000/1780.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1780.02 is what percent of 75000

100%/x%=75000/1780.02
(100/x)*x=(75000/1780.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=42.134358040921*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (42.134358040921) to get x
100/42.134358040921=x
2.37336=x
x=2.37336

now we have:
1780.02 is 2.37336% of 75000
