43.75 is what percent of 173 - 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 173 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 173, so we can write it down as 100%=173.
4. We know, that x% equals 43.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=43.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=173
2) x%=43.75
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%=173/43.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 43.75 is what percent of 173

100%/x%=173/43.75
(100/x)*x=(173/43.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9542857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9542857142857) to get x
100/3.9542857142857=x
25.28901734104=x
x=25.28901734104

now we have:
43.75 is 25.28901734104% of 173
