1026.5 is what percent of 1345 - 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 1345 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 1345, so we can write it down as 100%=1345.
4. We know, that x% equals 1026.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1026.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1345
2) x%=1026.5
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%=1345/1026.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1026.5 is what percent of 1345

100%/x%=1345/1026.5
(100/x)*x=(1345/1026.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3102776424744*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3102776424744) to get x
100/1.3102776424744=x
76.31970260223=x
x=76.31970260223

now we have:
1026.5 is 76.31970260223% of 1345
