76.8 is what percent of 1092.48 - 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 1092.48 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 1092.48, so we can write it down as 100%=1092.48.
4. We know, that x% equals 76.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=76.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1092.48
2) x%=76.8
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%=1092.48/76.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 76.8 is what percent of 1092.48

100%/x%=1092.48/76.8
(100/x)*x=(1092.48/76.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.225*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.225) to get x
100/14.225=x
7.0298769771529=x
x=7.0298769771529

now we have:
76.8 is 7.0298769771529% of 1092.48
