791.37 is what percent of 1052 - 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 1052 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 1052, so we can write it down as 100%=1052.
4. We know, that x% equals 791.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=791.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1052
2) x%=791.37
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%=1052/791.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 791.37 is what percent of 1052

100%/x%=1052/791.37
(100/x)*x=(1052/791.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3293402580335*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3293402580335) to get x
100/1.3293402580335=x
75.225285171103=x
x=75.225285171103

now we have:
791.37 is 75.225285171103% of 1052
