Power to weight ratio is finding out how much power that vehicle would have if it weighed 1000kg's.
So a scooby at 1235kg and 225bhp would be thus...
225/1235 (to give you bhp per kilogram)
then the result * 1000 to give you "per tonne".
182bhp per tonne.

How complicated can you make a simple calculation?
Why not divide it by milligrams and then convert it back to a tonne?
If you check my calculation out I just put 0.75 instead of 750kg as the divisor.....
