768.32 is what percent of 800 - 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 800 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 800, so we can write it down as 100%=800.
4. We know, that x% equals 768.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=768.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=800
2) x%=768.32
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%=800/768.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 768.32 is what percent of 800

100%/x%=800/768.32
(100/x)*x=(800/768.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0412328196585*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0412328196585) to get x
100/1.0412328196585=x
96.04=x
x=96.04

now we have:
768.32 is 96.04% of 800
