754.29 is what percent of 788.8 - 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 788.8 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 788.8, so we can write it down as 100%=788.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 754.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=754.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=788.8
2) x%=754.29
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%=788.8/754.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 754.29 is what percent of 788.8

100%/x%=788.8/754.29
(100/x)*x=(788.8/754.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0457516339869*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0457516339869) to get x
100/1.0457516339869=x
95.625=x
x=95.625

now we have:
