76.62 is what percent of 0.43 - 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 0.43 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 0.43, so we can write it down as 100%=0.43.
4. We know, that x% equals 76.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=0.43
2) x%=76.62
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%=0.43/76.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76.62 is what percent of 0.43

100%/x%=0.43/76.62
(100/x)*x=(0.43/76.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0056121117201775*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0056121117201775) to get x
100/0.0056121117201775=x
17818.604651163=x
x=17818.604651163

now we have:
76.62 is 17818.604651163% of 0.43
