562.75 is what percent of 1757 - 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 1757 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 1757, so we can write it down as 100%=1757.
4. We know, that x% equals 562.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=562.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1757
2) x%=562.75
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%=1757/562.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 562.75 is what percent of 1757

100%/x%=1757/562.75
(100/x)*x=(1757/562.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.1221679253665*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.1221679253665) to get x
100/3.1221679253665=x
32.029026750142=x
x=32.029026750142

now we have:
562.75 is 32.029026750142% of 1757
