696.5 is what percent of 819 - 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 819 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 819, so we can write it down as 100%=819.
4. We know, that x% equals 696.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=696.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=819
2) x%=696.5
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%=819/696.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 696.5 is what percent of 819

100%/x%=819/696.5
(100/x)*x=(819/696.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1758793969849*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1758793969849) to get x
100/1.1758793969849=x
85.042735042735=x
x=85.042735042735

now we have:
696.5 is 85.042735042735% of 819
