5.75 is what percent of 4.541 - 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 4.541 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 4.541, so we can write it down as 100%=4.541.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4.541
2) x%=5.75
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%=4.541/5.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.75 is what percent of 4.541

100%/x%=4.541/5.75
(100/x)*x=(4.541/5.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.78973913043478*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.78973913043478) to get x
100/0.78973913043478=x
126.62409160978=x
x=126.62409160978

now we have:
5.75 is 126.62409160978% of 4.541
