785 is what percent of 1032 - 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 1032 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 1032, so we can write it down as 100%=1032.
4. We know, that x% equals 785 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=785.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1032
2) x%=785
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%=1032/785
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 785 is what percent of 1032

100%/x%=1032/785
(100/x)*x=(1032/785)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3146496815287*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3146496815287) to get x
100/1.3146496815287=x
76.065891472868=x
x=76.065891472868

now we have:
785 is 76.065891472868% of 1032
