757.4 is what percent of 936 - 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 936 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 936, so we can write it down as 100%=936.
4. We know, that x% equals 757.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=757.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=936
2) x%=757.4
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%=936/757.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 757.4 is what percent of 936

100%/x%=936/757.4
(100/x)*x=(936/757.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2358067071561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2358067071561) to get x
100/1.2358067071561=x
80.918803418803=x
x=80.918803418803

now we have:
757.4 is 80.918803418803% of 936
