59.8 is what percent of 794 - 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 794 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 794, so we can write it down as 100%=794.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=794
2) x%=59.8
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%=794/59.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.8 is what percent of 794

100%/x%=794/59.8
(100/x)*x=(794/59.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.277591973244*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.277591973244) to get x
100/13.277591973244=x
7.5314861460957=x
x=7.5314861460957

now we have:
59.8 is 7.5314861460957% of 794
