415.68 is what percent of 1725 - 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 1725 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 1725, so we can write it down as 100%=1725.
4. We know, that x% equals 415.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=415.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1725
2) x%=415.68
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%=1725/415.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 415.68 is what percent of 1725

100%/x%=1725/415.68
(100/x)*x=(1725/415.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1498267898383*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1498267898383) to get x
100/4.1498267898383=x
24.097391304348=x
x=24.097391304348

now we have:
415.68 is 24.097391304348% of 1725
