791.72 is what percent of 2133.31 - 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 2133.31 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 2133.31, so we can write it down as 100%=2133.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 791.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=791.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2133.31
2) x%=791.72
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%=2133.31/791.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 791.72 is what percent of 2133.31

100%/x%=2133.31/791.72
(100/x)*x=(2133.31/791.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.6945258424696*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.6945258424696) to get x
100/2.6945258424696=x
37.112280915573=x
x=37.112280915573

now we have:
791.72 is 37.112280915573% of 2133.31
