79.03 is what percent of 202.5 - 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 202.5 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 202.5, so we can write it down as 100%=202.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=202.5
2) x%=79.03
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%=202.5/79.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.03 is what percent of 202.5

100%/x%=202.5/79.03
(100/x)*x=(202.5/79.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.562318107048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.562318107048) to get x
100/2.562318107048=x
39.027160493827=x
x=39.027160493827

now we have:
79.03 is 39.027160493827% of 202.5
