48.48 is what percent of 75.75 - 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 75.75 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 75.75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 48.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=48.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75.75
2) x%=48.48
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%=75.75/48.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 48.48 is what percent of 75.75

100%/x%=75.75/48.48
(100/x)*x=(75.75/48.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5625) to get x
100/1.5625=x
64=x
x=64

now we have:
48.48 is 64% of 75.75
