1002.83 is what percent of 1237.5 - 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 1237.5 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 1237.5, so we can write it down as 100%=1237.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1002.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1002.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1237.5
2) x%=1002.83
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%=1237.5/1002.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1002.83 is what percent of 1237.5

100%/x%=1237.5/1002.83
(100/x)*x=(1237.5/1002.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2340077580447*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2340077580447) to get x
100/1.2340077580447=x
81.036767676768=x
x=81.036767676768

now we have:
1002.83 is 81.036767676768% of 1237.5
