56.53 is what percent of 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 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 75, so we can write it down as 100%=75.
4. We know, that x% equals 56.53 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=56.53.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=75
2) x%=56.53
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%=75/56.53
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 56.53 is what percent of 75

100%/x%=75/56.53
(100/x)*x=(75/56.53)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.326729170352*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.326729170352) to get x
100/1.326729170352=x
75.373333333333=x
x=75.373333333333

now we have:
56.53 is 75.373333333333% of 75
