17.63 is what percent of 22.75 - 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 22.75 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 100% equals 22.75, so we can write it down as 100%=22.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 17.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=17.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=22.75
2) x%=17.63
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%=22.75/17.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 17.63 is what percent of 22.75

100%/x%=22.75/17.63
(100/x)*x=(22.75/17.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2904140669314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2904140669314) to get x
100/1.2904140669314=x
77.494505494505=x
x=77.494505494505

now we have:
17.63 is 77.494505494505% of 22.75
