717.44 is what percent of 877 - 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 877 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 877, so we can write it down as 100%=877.
4. We know, that x% equals 717.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=717.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=877
2) x%=717.44
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%=877/717.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 717.44 is what percent of 877

100%/x%=877/717.44
(100/x)*x=(877/717.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2224018733274*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2224018733274) to get x
100/1.2224018733274=x
81.806157354618=x
x=81.806157354618

now we have:
717.44 is 81.806157354618% of 877
