77.35 is what percent of 84.99 - 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 84.99 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 84.99, so we can write it down as 100%=84.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 77.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=77.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=84.99
2) x%=77.35
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%=84.99/77.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 77.35 is what percent of 84.99

100%/x%=84.99/77.35
(100/x)*x=(84.99/77.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0987718164189*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0987718164189) to get x
100/1.0987718164189=x
91.010707142017=x
x=91.010707142017

now we have:
77.35 is 91.010707142017% of 84.99
