3.02 is what percent of 1.75 - 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 1.75 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 1.75, so we can write it down as 100%=1.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.75
2) x%=3.02
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%=1.75/3.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.02 is what percent of 1.75

100%/x%=1.75/3.02
(100/x)*x=(1.75/3.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.5794701986755*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.5794701986755) to get x
100/0.5794701986755=x
172.57142857143=x
x=172.57142857143

now we have:
3.02 is 172.57142857143% of 1.75
