1.75 is what percent of 11.77 - 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 11.77 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 11.77, so we can write it down as 100%=11.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=11.77
2) x%=1.75
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%=11.77/1.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.75 is what percent of 11.77

100%/x%=11.77/1.75
(100/x)*x=(11.77/1.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.7257142857143*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.7257142857143) to get x
100/6.7257142857143=x
14.868309260833=x
x=14.868309260833

now we have:
1.75 is 14.868309260833% of 11.77
