80.9 is what percent of 1316 - 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 1316 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 1316, so we can write it down as 100%=1316.
4. We know, that x% equals 80.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=80.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1316
2) x%=80.9
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%=1316/80.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 80.9 is what percent of 1316

100%/x%=1316/80.9
(100/x)*x=(1316/80.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.266996291718*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.266996291718) to get x
100/16.266996291718=x
6.1474164133739=x
x=6.1474164133739

now we have:
80.9 is 6.1474164133739% of 1316
