765.7 is what percent of 824 - 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 824 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 824, so we can write it down as 100%=824.
4. We know, that x% equals 765.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=765.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=824
2) x%=765.7
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%=824/765.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 765.7 is what percent of 824

100%/x%=824/765.7
(100/x)*x=(824/765.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0761394802142*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0761394802142) to get x
100/1.0761394802142=x
92.924757281553=x
x=92.924757281553

now we have:
765.7 is 92.924757281553% of 824
