1.14 is what percent of 78.75 - 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 78.75 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 78.75, so we can write it down as 100%=78.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=78.75
2) x%=1.14
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%=78.75/1.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.14 is what percent of 78.75

100%/x%=78.75/1.14
(100/x)*x=(78.75/1.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=69.078947368421*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (69.078947368421) to get x
100/69.078947368421=x
1.447619047619=x
x=1.447619047619

now we have:
1.14 is 1.447619047619% of 78.75
