What is 33.75 percent of 2.25 - 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 2.25 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 2.25 is 100%, so we can write it down as 2.25=100%.
4. We know, that x is 33.75% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=33.75%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 2.25=100%
2) x=33.75%
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:
2.25/x=100%/33.75%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 33.75% of 2.25

2.25/x=100/33.75
(2.25/x)*x=(100/33.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
2.25=2.962962962963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.962962962963) to get x
2.25/2.962962962963=x
0.759375=x
x=0.759375

now we have:
33.75% of 2.25=0.759375
