702.52 is what percent of 800 - 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 800 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 800, so we can write it down as 100%=800.
4. We know, that x% equals 702.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=702.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=800
2) x%=702.52
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%=800/702.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 702.52 is what percent of 800

100%/x%=800/702.52
(100/x)*x=(800/702.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1387576154416*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1387576154416) to get x
100/1.1387576154416=x
87.815=x
x=87.815

now we have:
702.52 is 87.815% of 800
