80 is what percent of 628.279 - 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 628.279 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 628.279, so we can write it down as 100%=628.279.
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%=628.279
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%=628.279/80
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 628.279

100%/x%=628.279/80
(100/x)*x=(628.279/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8534875*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8534875) to get x
100/7.8534875=x
12.73319655758=x
x=12.73319655758

now we have:
80 is 12.73319655758% of 628.279
