What is 175 percent of 133 - 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 133 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 133 is 100%, so we can write it down as 133=100%.
4. We know, that x is 175% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=175%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 133=100%
2) x=175%
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:
133/x=100%/175%
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 175% of 133

133/x=100/175
(133/x)*x=(100/175)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
133=0.57142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.57142857142857) to get x
133/0.57142857142857=x
232.75=x
x=232.75

now we have:
175% of 133=232.75
