76.56 is what percent of 300 - 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 300 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 300, so we can write it down as 100%=300.
4. We know, that x% equals 76.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=300
2) x%=76.56
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%=300/76.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76.56 is what percent of 300

100%/x%=300/76.56
(100/x)*x=(300/76.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9184952978056*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9184952978056) to get x
100/3.9184952978056=x
25.52=x
x=25.52

now we have:
76.56 is 25.52% of 300
