5.75 is what percent of 2.83 - 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 2.83 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 2.83, so we can write it down as 100%=2.83.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2.83
2) x%=5.75
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%=2.83/5.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.75 is what percent of 2.83

100%/x%=2.83/5.75
(100/x)*x=(2.83/5.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.49217391304348*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.49217391304348) to get x
100/0.49217391304348=x
203.18021201413=x
x=203.18021201413

now we have:
5.75 is 203.18021201413% of 2.83
