154.76 is what percent of 775 - 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 775 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 775, so we can write it down as 100%=775.
4. We know, that x% equals 154.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=154.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=775
2) x%=154.76
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%=775/154.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 154.76 is what percent of 775

100%/x%=775/154.76
(100/x)*x=(775/154.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.007753941587*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.007753941587) to get x
100/5.007753941587=x
19.969032258065=x
x=19.969032258065

now we have:
154.76 is 19.969032258065% of 775
