295% of what number is 177?

522.15 I think

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 177 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 177 is 100%, so we can write it down as 177=100%.

4. We know, that x is 295% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=295%.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 177=100%

2) x=295%

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:

177/x=100%/295%

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 295% of 177

177/x=100/295

(177/x)*x=(100/295)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

177=0.33898305084746*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.33898305084746) to get x

177/0.33898305084746=x

522.15=x

x=522.15

now we have:

295% of 177=522.15

3540 is 295% of 177

ratio is 2 : 9

the answer is three
