73.16 is what percent of 79 - 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 79 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 79, so we can write it down as 100%=79.
4. We know, that x% equals 73.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=73.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=79
2) x%=73.16
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%=79/73.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 73.16 is what percent of 79

100%/x%=79/73.16
(100/x)*x=(79/73.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.079825041006*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.079825041006) to get x
100/1.079825041006=x
92.607594936709=x
x=92.607594936709

now we have:
73.16 is 92.607594936709% of 79
