What is 5.74 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 1750 is 100%, so we can write it down as 1750=100%.
4. We know, that x is 5.74% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=5.74%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 1750=100%
2) x=5.74%
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:
1750/x=100%/5.74%
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 5.74% of 1750

1750/x=100/5.74
(1750/x)*x=(100/5.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
1750=17.421602787456*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.421602787456) to get x
1750/17.421602787456=x
100.45=x
x=100.45

now we have:
5.74% of 1750=100.45
