214.81 is what percent of 1750 - 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 1750 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 1750, so we can write it down as 100%=1750.
4. We know, that x% equals 214.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=214.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1750
2) x%=214.81
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%=1750/214.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 214.81 is what percent of 1750

100%/x%=1750/214.81
(100/x)*x=(1750/214.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1467343233555*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1467343233555) to get x
100/8.1467343233555=x
12.274857142857=x
x=12.274857142857

now we have:
214.81 is 12.274857142857% of 1750
