5796.79 is what percent of 7500 - 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 7500 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 7500, so we can write it down as 100%=7500.
4. We know, that x% equals 5796.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5796.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7500
2) x%=5796.79
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%=7500/5796.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5796.79 is what percent of 7500

100%/x%=7500/5796.79
(100/x)*x=(7500/5796.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2938195104532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2938195104532) to get x
100/1.2938195104532=x
77.290533333333=x
x=77.290533333333

now we have:
5796.79 is 77.290533333333% of 7500
