748.75 is what percent of 1025 - 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 1025 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 1025, so we can write it down as 100%=1025.
4. We know, that x% equals 748.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=748.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1025
2) x%=748.75
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%=1025/748.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 748.75 is what percent of 1025

100%/x%=1025/748.75
(100/x)*x=(1025/748.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3689482470785*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3689482470785) to get x
100/1.3689482470785=x
73.048780487805=x
x=73.048780487805

now we have:
748.75 is 73.048780487805% of 1025
