Answer:
6.7
Step-by-step explanation:
4% of 175 is 7000
7000+4725 equal 11725
To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.
1. We assume, that the number 175000 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 175000, so we can write it down as 100%=175000.
4. We know, that x% equals 11725 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=11725.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=175000
2) x%=11725
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%=175000/11725
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.
7. Solution for 11725 is what percent of 175000
100%/x%=175000/11725
(100/x)*x=(175000/11725)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.925373134328*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.925373134328) to get x
100/14.925373134328=x
6.7=x
x=6.7
now we have:
11725 is 6.7% of 175000
