76 is what percent of 1033 - 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 1033 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 1033, so we can write it down as 100%=1033.
4. We know, that x% equals 76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1033
2) x%=76
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%=1033/76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76 is what percent of 1033

100%/x%=1033/76
(100/x)*x=(1033/76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.592105263158*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.592105263158) to get x
100/13.592105263158=x
7.3572120038722=x
x=7.3572120038722

now we have:
76 is 7.3572120038722% of 1033
