What is 1750 percent of 749 - 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 749 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 749 is 100%, so we can write it down as 749=100%.
4. We know, that x is 1750% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=1750%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 749=100%
2) x=1750%
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:
749/x=100%/1750%
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 1750% of 749

749/x=100/1750
(749/x)*x=(100/1750)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
749=0.057142857142857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.057142857142857) to get x
749/0.057142857142857=x
13107.5=x
x=13107.5

now we have:
1750% of 749=13107.5
