80 is what percent of 74650 - 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 74650 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 74650, so we can write it down as 100%=74650.
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%=74650
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%=74650/80
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 74650

100%/x%=74650/80
(100/x)*x=(74650/80)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=933.125*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (933.125) to get x
100/933.125=x
0.10716677829873=x
x=0.10716677829873

now we have:
80 is 0.10716677829873% of 74650
