75/225=1/3, 1/3=33.3 percent

Set it up like a proportion:

75/225 = x/100 where x represents an unknown percentage of 100 percent.

Now cross multiply:

225x = 75 (100)

225x = 7500; now divide both sides by 225 to isolate and solve for x, and you get 33.33%. Sophia spent 33.33% of her paycheck on shoes.
