37.54 is what percent of 22.75 - 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 22.75 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 22.75, so we can write it down as 100%=22.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 37.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=37.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.75
2) x%=37.54
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%=22.75/37.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 37.54 is what percent of 22.75

100%/x%=22.75/37.54
(100/x)*x=(22.75/37.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.60602024507192*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.60602024507192) to get x
100/0.60602024507192=x
165.01098901099=x
x=165.01098901099

now we have:
37.54 is 165.01098901099% of 22.75
