79.81 is what percent of 1249.64 - 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 1249.64 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 1249.64, so we can write it down as 100%=1249.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.81 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.81.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1249.64
2) x%=79.81
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%=1249.64/79.81
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.81 is what percent of 1249.64

100%/x%=1249.64/79.81
(100/x)*x=(1249.64/79.81)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.657687006641*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.657687006641) to get x
100/15.657687006641=x
6.3866393521334=x
x=6.3866393521334

now we have:
