48.1 is what percent of 675 - 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 675 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 675, so we can write it down as 100%=675.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=675
2) x%=48.1
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%=675/48.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.1 is what percent of 675

100%/x%=675/48.1
(100/x)*x=(675/48.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.033264033264*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.033264033264) to get x
100/14.033264033264=x
7.1259259259259=x
x=7.1259259259259

now we have:
48.1 is 7.1259259259259% of 675
