9.25 is what percent of 64.75 - 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 64.75 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 64.75, so we can write it down as 100%=64.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 9.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=9.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=64.75
2) x%=9.25
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%=64.75/9.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 9.25 is what percent of 64.75

100%/x%=64.75/9.25
(100/x)*x=(64.75/9.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7) to get x
100/7=x
14.285714285714=x
x=14.285714285714

now we have:
9.25 is 14.285714285714% of 64.75
