28.52 is what percent of 43.75 - 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 43.75 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 43.75, so we can write it down as 100%=43.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 28.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=28.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=43.75
2) x%=28.52
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%=43.75/28.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 28.52 is what percent of 43.75

100%/x%=43.75/28.52
(100/x)*x=(43.75/28.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5340112202*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5340112202) to get x
100/1.5340112202=x
65.1885714286=x
x=65.1885714286

now we have:
28.52 is 65.1885714286% of 43.75
