75.04 is what percent of 798 - 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 798 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 798, so we can write it down as 100%=798.
4. We know, that x% equals 75.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=798
2) x%=75.04
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%=798/75.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75.04 is what percent of 798

100%/x%=798/75.04
(100/x)*x=(798/75.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.634328358209*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.634328358209) to get x
100/10.634328358209=x
9.4035087719298=x
x=9.4035087719298

now we have:
75.04 is 9.4035087719298% of 798
