49 = 28% original equation

49/28 = 28%/28 divide both sides by 28 to get 1%

1.75 = 1% simplify

Now, multiply 1.75 to get what 100% is (the # ur trying to find).

1.75 = 1% original equation

1.75*100 = 1%*100 multiply both sides to get 100%

175 = 100% simplify

Therefore, 49 is 28% of 175.

To check your answer, you can multiply 175 by 0.28 to get 49, which indicates that your solution for 100% is correct.
