52.75 is what percent of 173.74 - 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 173.74 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 173.74, so we can write it down as 100%=173.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 52.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=52.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=173.74
2) x%=52.75
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%=173.74/52.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 52.75 is what percent of 173.74

100%/x%=173.74/52.75
(100/x)*x=(173.74/52.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2936492890995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2936492890995) to get x
100/3.2936492890995=x
30.361459652354=x
x=30.361459652354

now we have:
52.75 is 30.361459652354% of 173.74
