51.56 is what percent of 68.75 - 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 68.75 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 68.75, so we can write it down as 100%=68.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 51.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=51.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=68.75
2) x%=51.56
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%=68.75/51.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 51.56 is what percent of 68.75

100%/x%=68.75/51.56
(100/x)*x=(68.75/51.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3333979829325*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3333979829325) to get x
100/1.3333979829325=x
74.996363636364=x
x=74.996363636364

now we have:
51.56 is 74.996363636364% of 68.75
