77.26 is what percent of 653.31 - 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 653.31 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 653.31, so we can write it down as 100%=653.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 77.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=77.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=653.31
2) x%=77.26
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%=653.31/77.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 77.26 is what percent of 653.31

100%/x%=653.31/77.26
(100/x)*x=(653.31/77.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.4559927517473*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.4559927517473) to get x
100/8.4559927517473=x
11.825932558816=x
x=11.825932558816

now we have:
