57 is what percent of 73425 - 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 73425 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 73425, so we can write it down as 100%=73425.
4. We know, that x% equals 57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73425
2) x%=57
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%=73425/57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57 is what percent of 73425

100%/x%=73425/57
(100/x)*x=(73425/57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1288.1578947368*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1288.1578947368) to get x
100/1288.1578947368=x
0.077630234933606=x
x=0.077630234933606

now we have:
