745.65 is what percent of 980 - 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 980 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 980, so we can write it down as 100%=980.
4. We know, that x% equals 745.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=745.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=980
2) x%=745.65
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%=980/745.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 745.65 is what percent of 980

100%/x%=980/745.65
(100/x)*x=(980/745.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3142895460337*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3142895460337) to get x
100/1.3142895460337=x
76.086734693878=x
x=76.086734693878

now we have:
745.65 is 76.086734693878% of 980
