104.82 is what percent of 801 - 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 801 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 801, so we can write it down as 100%=801.
4. We know, that x% equals 104.82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=104.82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=801
2) x%=104.82
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%=801/104.82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 104.82 is what percent of 801

100%/x%=801/104.82
(100/x)*x=(801/104.82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.6416714367487*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.6416714367487) to get x
100/7.6416714367487=x
13.086142322097=x
x=13.086142322097

now we have:
104.82 is 13.086142322097% of 801
