33.75 is what percent of 2375.61 - 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 2375.61 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 2375.61, so we can write it down as 100%=2375.61.
4. We know, that x% equals 33.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=33.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2375.61
2) x%=33.75
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%=2375.61/33.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 33.75 is what percent of 2375.61

100%/x%=2375.61/33.75
(100/x)*x=(2375.61/33.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=70.388444444444*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (70.388444444444) to get x
100/70.388444444444=x
1.4206877391491=x
x=1.4206877391491

now we have:
