43.73 is what percent of 45.75 - 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 45.75 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 45.75, so we can write it down as 100%=45.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45.75
2) x%=43.73
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%=45.75/43.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.73 is what percent of 45.75

100%/x%=45.75/43.73
(100/x)*x=(45.75/43.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0461925451635*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0461925451635) to get x
100/1.0461925451635=x
95.584699453552=x
x=95.584699453552

now we have:
43.73 is 95.584699453552% of 45.75
