64.03 is what percent of 80.5 - 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 80.5 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 80.5, so we can write it down as 100%=80.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80.5
2) x%=64.03
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%=80.5/64.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.03 is what percent of 80.5

100%/x%=80.5/64.03
(100/x)*x=(80.5/64.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.257223176636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.257223176636) to get x
100/1.257223176636=x
79.540372670807=x
x=79.540372670807

now we have:
64.03 is 79.540372670807% of 80.5
