738.43 is what percent of 895 - 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 895 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 895, so we can write it down as 100%=895.
4. We know, that x% equals 738.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=738.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=895
2) x%=738.43
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%=895/738.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 738.43 is what percent of 895

100%/x%=895/738.43
(100/x)*x=(895/738.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2120309304877*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2120309304877) to get x
100/1.2120309304877=x
82.506145251397=x
x=82.506145251397

now we have:
738.43 is 82.506145251397% of 895
