793.04 is what percent of 1080 - 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 1080 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 1080, so we can write it down as 100%=1080.
4. We know, that x% equals 793.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=793.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1080
2) x%=793.04
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%=1080/793.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 793.04 is what percent of 1080

100%/x%=1080/793.04
(100/x)*x=(1080/793.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.361848078281*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.361848078281) to get x
100/1.361848078281=x
73.42962962963=x
x=73.42962962963

now we have:
793.04 is 73.42962962963% of 1080
