758.25 is what percent of 84 - 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 84 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 84, so we can write it down as 100%=84.
4. We know, that x% equals 758.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=758.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=84
2) x%=758.25
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%=84/758.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 758.25 is what percent of 84

100%/x%=84/758.25
(100/x)*x=(84/758.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.11078140454995*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.11078140454995) to get x
100/0.11078140454995=x
902.67857142857=x
x=902.67857142857

now we have:
758.25 is 902.67857142857% of 84
