76.65 is what percent of 325 - 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 325 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 325, so we can write it down as 100%=325.
4. We know, that x% equals 76.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=325
2) x%=76.65
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%=325/76.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76.65 is what percent of 325

100%/x%=325/76.65
(100/x)*x=(325/76.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.2400521852577*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.2400521852577) to get x
100/4.2400521852577=x
23.584615384615=x
x=23.584615384615

now we have:
76.65 is 23.584615384615% of 325
