652.29 is what percent of 834.6 - 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 834.6 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 834.6, so we can write it down as 100%=834.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 652.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=652.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=834.6
2) x%=652.29
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%=834.6/652.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 652.29 is what percent of 834.6

100%/x%=834.6/652.29
(100/x)*x=(834.6/652.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2794922503794*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2794922503794) to get x
100/1.2794922503794=x
78.156002875629=x
x=78.156002875629

now we have:
