77.15 is what percent of 813 - 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 813 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 813, so we can write it down as 100%=813.
4. We know, that x% equals 77.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=77.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=813
2) x%=77.15
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%=813/77.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 77.15 is what percent of 813

100%/x%=813/77.15
(100/x)*x=(813/77.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.537913156189*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.537913156189) to get x
100/10.537913156189=x
9.489544895449=x
x=9.489544895449

now we have:
77.15 is 9.489544895449% of 813
