0.76 is what percent of 104.678 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 104.678 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 100% equals 104.678, so we can write it down as 100%=104.678.
4. We know, that x% equals 0.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=0.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=104.678
2) x%=0.76
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:
100%/x%=104.678/0.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 0.76 is what percent of 104.678

100%/x%=104.678/0.76
(100/x)*x=(104.678/0.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=137.73421052632*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (137.73421052632) to get x
100/137.73421052632=x
0.72603603431476=x
x=0.72603603431476

now we have:
