56.25 is what percent of 173.75 - 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 173.75 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 173.75, so we can write it down as 100%=173.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=173.75
2) x%=56.25
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%=173.75/56.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.25 is what percent of 173.75

100%/x%=173.75/56.25
(100/x)*x=(173.75/56.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0888888888889*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0888888888889) to get x
100/3.0888888888889=x
32.374100719424=x
x=32.374100719424

now we have:
56.25 is 32.374100719424% of 173.75
