80.26 is what percent of 308.77 - 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 308.77 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 308.77, so we can write it down as 100%=308.77.
4. We know, that x% equals 80.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=308.77
2) x%=80.26
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%=308.77/80.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80.26 is what percent of 308.77

100%/x%=308.77/80.26
(100/x)*x=(308.77/80.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8471218539746*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8471218539746) to get x
100/3.8471218539746=x
25.993457913657=x
x=25.993457913657

now we have:
80.26 is 25.993457913657% of 308.77
