75.45 is what percent of 80.5 - 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 80.5 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 80.5, so we can write it down as 100%=80.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 75.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80.5
2) x%=75.45
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%=80.5/75.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75.45 is what percent of 80.5

100%/x%=80.5/75.45
(100/x)*x=(80.5/75.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0669317428761*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0669317428761) to get x
100/1.0669317428761=x
93.726708074534=x
x=93.726708074534

now we have:
75.45 is 93.726708074534% of 80.5
