80.61 is what percent of 759.88 - 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 759.88 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 759.88, so we can write it down as 100%=759.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 80.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=759.88
2) x%=80.61
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%=759.88/80.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80.61 is what percent of 759.88

100%/x%=759.88/80.61
(100/x)*x=(759.88/80.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.4266220071951*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.4266220071951) to get x
100/9.4266220071951=x
10.608253934832=x
x=10.608253934832

now we have:
80.61 is 10.608253934832% of 759.88
