57.75 is what percent of 744 - 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 744 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 744, so we can write it down as 100%=744.
4. We know, that x% equals 57.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=744
2) x%=57.75
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%=744/57.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57.75 is what percent of 744

100%/x%=744/57.75
(100/x)*x=(744/57.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.883116883117*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.883116883117) to get x
100/12.883116883117=x
7.7620967741935=x
x=7.7620967741935

now we have:
57.75 is 7.7620967741935% of 744
