1386.77 is what percent of 1648 - 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 1648 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 1648, so we can write it down as 100%=1648.
4. We know, that x% equals 1386.77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1386.77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1648
2) x%=1386.77
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%=1648/1386.77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1386.77 is what percent of 1648

100%/x%=1648/1386.77
(100/x)*x=(1648/1386.77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1883729818211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1883729818211) to get x
100/1.1883729818211=x
84.148665048544=x
x=84.148665048544

now we have:
1386.77 is 84.148665048544% of 1648
