1021.48 is what percent of 791 - 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 791 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 791, so we can write it down as 100%=791.
4. We know, that x% equals 1021.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1021.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=791
2) x%=1021.48
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%=791/1021.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1021.48 is what percent of 791

100%/x%=791/1021.48
(100/x)*x=(791/1021.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.77436660531777*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.77436660531777) to get x
100/0.77436660531777=x
129.13780025284=x
x=129.13780025284

now we have:
1021.48 is 129.13780025284% of 791
