75.67 is what percent of 87.36 - 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 87.36 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 87.36, so we can write it down as 100%=87.36.
4. We know, that x% equals 75.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=75.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=87.36
2) x%=75.67
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%=87.36/75.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 75.67 is what percent of 87.36

100%/x%=87.36/75.67
(100/x)*x=(87.36/75.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.154486586494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.154486586494) to get x
100/1.154486586494=x
86.61858974359=x
x=86.61858974359

now we have:
75.67 is 86.61858974359% of 87.36
