75.43 is what percent of 79.96 - 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 79.96 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 79.96, so we can write it down as 100%=79.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 75.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=79.96
2) x%=75.43
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%=79.96/75.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75.43 is what percent of 79.96

100%/x%=79.96/75.43
(100/x)*x=(79.96/75.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0600556807636*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0600556807636) to get x
100/1.0600556807636=x
94.334667333667=x
x=94.334667333667

now we have:
75.43 is 94.334667333667% of 79.96
