23.75 is what percent of 326 - 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 326 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 326, so we can write it down as 100%=326.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=326
2) x%=23.75
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%=326/23.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.75 is what percent of 326

100%/x%=326/23.75
(100/x)*x=(326/23.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.726315789474*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.726315789474) to get x
100/13.726315789474=x
7.2852760736196=x
x=7.2852760736196

now we have:
23.75 is 7.2852760736196% of 326
