77.44 is what percent of 1321.96 - 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 1321.96 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 1321.96, so we can write it down as 100%=1321.96.
4. We know, that x% equals 77.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=77.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1321.96
2) x%=77.44
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%=1321.96/77.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 77.44 is what percent of 1321.96

100%/x%=1321.96/77.44
(100/x)*x=(1321.96/77.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=17.07076446281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (17.07076446281) to get x
100/17.07076446281=x
5.8579684710581=x
x=5.8579684710581

now we have:
