754.3 is what percent of 1769.95 - 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 1769.95 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 1769.95, so we can write it down as 100%=1769.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 754.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=754.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1769.95
2) x%=754.3
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%=1769.95/754.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 754.3 is what percent of 1769.95

100%/x%=1769.95/754.3
(100/x)*x=(1769.95/754.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3464801802996*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3464801802996) to get x
100/2.3464801802996=x
42.617023079748=x
x=42.617023079748

now we have:
754.3 is 42.617023079748% of 1769.95
