80 is what percent of 356800 - 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 356800 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 356800, so we can write it down as 100%=356800.
4. We know, that x% equals 80 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=356800
2) x%=80
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%=356800/80
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80 is what percent of 356800

100%/x%=356800/80
(100/x)*x=(356800/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4460*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4460) to get x
100/4460=x
0.022421524663677=x
x=0.022421524663677

now we have:
80 is 0.022421524663677% of 356800
