6.75 is what percent of 1743 - 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 1743 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 1743, so we can write it down as 100%=1743.
4. We know, that x% equals 6.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=6.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1743
2) x%=6.75
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%=1743/6.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 6.75 is what percent of 1743

100%/x%=1743/6.75
(100/x)*x=(1743/6.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=258.22222222222*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (258.22222222222) to get x
100/258.22222222222=x
0.38726333907057=x
x=0.38726333907057

now we have:
6.75 is 0.38726333907057% of 1743
