5.75 is what percent of 75.45 - 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 75.45 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 75.45, so we can write it down as 100%=75.45.
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%=75.45
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%=75.45/5.75
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 75.45

100%/x%=75.45/5.75
(100/x)*x=(75.45/5.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.121739130435*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.121739130435) to get x
100/13.121739130435=x
7.6209410205434=x
x=7.6209410205434

now we have:
5.75 is 7.6209410205434% of 75.45
