What is 173 percent of 3750 - 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 3750 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 3750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 3750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 173% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=173%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 3750=100%
2) x=173%
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:
3750/x=100%/173%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 173% of 3750

3750/x=100/173
(3750/x)*x=(100/173)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
3750=0.57803468208092*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.57803468208092) to get x
3750/0.57803468208092=x
6487.5=x
x=6487.5

now we have:
173% of 3750=6487.5
