3.75 is what percent of 7.05 - 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 7.05 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 7.05, so we can write it down as 100%=7.05.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.05
2) x%=3.75
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%=7.05/3.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.75 is what percent of 7.05

100%/x%=7.05/3.75
(100/x)*x=(7.05/3.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.88*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.88) to get x
100/1.88=x
53.191489361702=x
x=53.191489361702

now we have:
3.75 is 53.191489361702% of 7.05
