1156.24 is what percent of 875 - 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 875 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 875, so we can write it down as 100%=875.
4. We know, that x% equals 1156.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1156.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=875
2) x%=1156.24
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%=875/1156.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1156.24 is what percent of 875

100%/x%=875/1156.24
(100/x)*x=(875/1156.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.75676330173666*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75676330173666) to get x
100/0.75676330173666=x
132.14171428571=x
x=132.14171428571

now we have:
1156.24 is 132.14171428571% of 875
