What is 45.8 percent of 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 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 75 is 100%, so we can write it down as 75=100%.
4. We know, that x is 45.8% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=45.8%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 75=100%
2) x=45.8%
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:
75/x=100%/45.8%
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 45.8% of 75

75/x=100/45.8
(75/x)*x=(100/45.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
75=2.1834061135371*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.1834061135371) to get x
75/2.1834061135371=x
34.35=x
x=34.35

now we have:
45.8% of 75=34.35
