754.62 is what percent of 890 - 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 890 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 890, so we can write it down as 100%=890.
4. We know, that x% equals 754.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=754.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=890
2) x%=754.62
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%=890/754.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 754.62 is what percent of 890

100%/x%=890/754.62
(100/x)*x=(890/754.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1794015530996*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1794015530996) to get x
100/1.1794015530996=x
84.788764044944=x
x=84.788764044944

now we have:
754.62 is 84.788764044944% of 890
