80.75 is what percent of 107 - 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 107 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 107, so we can write it down as 100%=107.
4. We know, that x% equals 80.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=107
2) x%=80.75
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%=107/80.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80.75 is what percent of 107

100%/x%=107/80.75
(100/x)*x=(107/80.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3250773993808*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3250773993808) to get x
100/1.3250773993808=x
75.467289719626=x
x=75.467289719626

now we have:
80.75 is 75.467289719626% of 107
