79.75 is what percent of 92.76 - 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 92.76 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 92.76, so we can write it down as 100%=92.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=92.76
2) x%=79.75
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%=92.76/79.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.75 is what percent of 92.76

100%/x%=92.76/79.75
(100/x)*x=(92.76/79.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1631347962382*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1631347962382) to get x
100/1.1631347962382=x
85.974557999138=x
x=85.974557999138

now we have:
79.75 is 85.974557999138% of 92.76
