76 is what percent of 59273 - 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 59273 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 59273, so we can write it down as 100%=59273.
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%=59273
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%=59273/76
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 59273

100%/x%=59273/76
(100/x)*x=(59273/76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=779.90789473684*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (779.90789473684) to get x
100/779.90789473684=x
0.12822026892514=x
x=0.12822026892514

now we have:
