77 is what percent of 183.33 - 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 183.33 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 183.33, so we can write it down as 100%=183.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 77 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=77.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=183.33
2) x%=77
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%=183.33/77
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 77 is what percent of 183.33

100%/x%=183.33/77
(100/x)*x=(183.33/77)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3809090909091*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3809090909091) to get x
100/2.3809090909091=x
42.000763650248=x
x=42.000763650248

now we have:
77 is 42.000763650248% of 183.33
