777.54 is what percent of 835 - 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 835 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 835, so we can write it down as 100%=835.
4. We know, that x% equals 777.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=777.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=835
2) x%=777.54
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%=835/777.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 777.54 is what percent of 835

100%/x%=835/777.54
(100/x)*x=(835/777.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0738997350619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0738997350619) to get x
100/1.0738997350619=x
93.118562874251=x
x=93.118562874251

now we have:
777.54 is 93.118562874251% of 835
