757.96 is what percent of 4036 - 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 4036 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 4036, so we can write it down as 100%=4036.
4. We know, that x% equals 757.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=757.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4036
2) x%=757.96
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%=4036/757.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 757.96 is what percent of 4036

100%/x%=4036/757.96
(100/x)*x=(4036/757.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.3248192516755*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.3248192516755) to get x
100/5.3248192516755=x
18.779980178394=x
x=18.779980178394

now we have:
757.96 is 18.779980178394% of 4036
