127.91 is what percent of 760.65 - 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 760.65 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 760.65, so we can write it down as 100%=760.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.91 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.91.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=760.65
2) x%=127.91
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%=760.65/127.91
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.91 is what percent of 760.65

100%/x%=760.65/127.91
(100/x)*x=(760.65/127.91)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9467594402314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9467594402314) to get x
100/5.9467594402314=x
16.815881154276=x
x=16.815881154276

now we have:
