45 is what percent of 7.52 - 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 7.52 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 7.52, so we can write it down as 100%=7.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7.52
2) x%=45
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%=7.52/45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 45 is what percent of 7.52

100%/x%=7.52/45
(100/x)*x=(7.52/45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.16711111111111*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.16711111111111) to get x
100/0.16711111111111=x
598.40425531915=x
x=598.40425531915

now we have:
45 is 598.40425531915% of 7.52
