    Let x = number of procedures

    y = number of patient visits

    n = % (in decimal form)

    Note:

    Percentage form = 33%

    Decimal form = 0.33

    Conversion factor: 1 = 100%

    Considering the first statement that 33% or 0.33 is derived from dividing 1300 procedures with 3900 patient visits. Then, our working formula is x/y = n.

    If we are ask to increase the percentage to 45% or 0.45, then substitute this value to n in the formula. We subsequently get,

    x/y = 0.45

    Assuming the patient visits remains the same and substitute it in the formula. We subsequently get,

    x/3900 = 0.45

    Solving for x. We arrive at an answer of x = 1755 procedures.
