75 is what percent of 1671 - 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 1671 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 1671, so we can write it down as 100%=1671.
4. We know, that x% equals 75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1671
2) x%=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%=1671/75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75 is what percent of 1671

100%/x%=1671/75
(100/x)*x=(1671/75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.28*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.28) to get x
100/22.28=x
4.4883303411131=x
x=4.4883303411131

now we have:
75 is 4.4883303411131% of 1671
