1381.37 is what percent of 1788 - 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 1788 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 1788, so we can write it down as 100%=1788.
4. We know, that x% equals 1381.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1381.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1788
2) x%=1381.37
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%=1788/1381.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1381.37 is what percent of 1788

100%/x%=1788/1381.37
(100/x)*x=(1788/1381.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2943671861992*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2943671861992) to get x
100/1.2943671861992=x
77.257829977629=x
x=77.257829977629

now we have:
1381.37 is 77.257829977629% of 1788
