1376.37 is what percent of 764.65 - 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 764.65 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 764.65, so we can write it down as 100%=764.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 1376.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1376.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=764.65
2) x%=1376.37
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%=764.65/1376.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1376.37 is what percent of 764.65

100%/x%=764.65/1376.37
(100/x)*x=(764.65/1376.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.55555555555556*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.55555555555556) to get x
100/0.55555555555556=x
180=x
x=180

now we have:
1376.37 is 180% of 764.65
