751.21 is what percent of 800 - 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 800 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 800, so we can write it down as 100%=800.
4. We know, that x% equals 751.21 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=751.21.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=800
2) x%=751.21
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%=800/751.21
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 751.21 is what percent of 800

100%/x%=800/751.21
(100/x)*x=(800/751.21)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0649485496732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0649485496732) to get x
100/1.0649485496732=x
93.90125=x
x=93.90125

now we have:
751.21 is 93.90125% of 800
