42047.56 is what percent of 75000 - 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 75000 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 75000, so we can write it down as 100%=75000.
4. We know, that x% equals 42047.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=42047.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75000
2) x%=42047.56
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%=75000/42047.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 42047.56 is what percent of 75000

(100/x)*x=(75000/42047.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7836944640783*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7836944640783) to get x
100/1.7836944640783=x
56.063413333333=x
x=56.063413333333

now we have:
