74.75 is what percent of 521.07 - 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 521.07 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 521.07, so we can write it down as 100%=521.07.
4. We know, that x% equals 74.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=74.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=521.07
2) x%=74.75
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%=521.07/74.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 74.75 is what percent of 521.07

100%/x%=521.07/74.75
(100/x)*x=(521.07/74.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.9708361204013*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.9708361204013) to get x
100/6.9708361204013=x
14.345481413246=x
x=14.345481413246

now we have:
74.75 is 14.345481413246% of 521.07
