795.06 is what percent of 3786 - 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 3786 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 3786, so we can write it down as 100%=3786.
4. We know, that x% equals 795.06 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=795.06.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3786
2) x%=795.06
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%=3786/795.06
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 795.06 is what percent of 3786

100%/x%=3786/795.06
(100/x)*x=(3786/795.06)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.7619047619048*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.7619047619048) to get x
100/4.7619047619048=x
21=x
x=21

now we have:
795.06 is 21% of 3786
