0.75 is what percent of 10.77 - 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 10.77 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 100% equals 10.77, so we can write it down as 100%=10.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10.77
2) x%=0.75
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:
100%/x%=10.77/0.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.75 is what percent of 10.77

100%/x%=10.77/0.75
(100/x)*x=(10.77/0.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.36*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.36) to get x
100/14.36=x
6.9637883008357=x
x=6.9637883008357

now we have:
0.75 is 6.9637883008357% of 10.77
