78917.8 is what percent of 45000 - 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 45000 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 45000, so we can write it down as 100%=45000.
4. We know, that x% equals 78917.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=78917.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=45000
2) x%=78917.8
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%=45000/78917.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 78917.8 is what percent of 45000

100%/x%=45000/78917.8
(100/x)*x=(45000/78917.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.57021356398683*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.57021356398683) to get x
100/0.57021356398683=x
175.37288888889=x
x=175.37288888889

now we have:
78917.8 is 175.37288888889% of 45000
