801.8 is what percent of 835.6 - 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 835.6 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 835.6, so we can write it down as 100%=835.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 801.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=801.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=835.6
2) x%=801.8
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%=835.6/801.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 801.8 is what percent of 835.6

100%/x%=835.6/801.8
(100/x)*x=(835.6/801.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0421551509105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0421551509105) to get x
100/1.0421551509105=x
95.95500239349=x
x=95.95500239349

now we have:
801.8 is 95.95500239349% of 835.6
