92 is what percent of 1750 - 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 1750 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 1750, so we can write it down as 100%=1750.
4. We know, that x% equals 92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1750
2) x%=92
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%=1750/92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92 is what percent of 1750

100%/x%=1750/92
(100/x)*x=(1750/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=19.021739130435*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (19.021739130435) to get x
100/19.021739130435=x
5.2571428571429=x
x=5.2571428571429

now we have:
92 is 5.2571428571429% of 1750
