639.9 is what percent of 830 - 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 830 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 830, so we can write it down as 100%=830.
4. We know, that x% equals 639.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=639.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=830
2) x%=639.9
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%=830/639.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 639.9 is what percent of 830

100%/x%=830/639.9
(100/x)*x=(830/639.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2970776683857*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2970776683857) to get x
100/1.2970776683857=x
77.096385542169=x
x=77.096385542169

now we have:
639.9 is 77.096385542169% of 830
