804.48 is what percent of 950 - 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 950 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 950, so we can write it down as 100%=950.
4. We know, that x% equals 804.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=804.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=950
2) x%=804.48
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%=950/804.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 804.48 is what percent of 950

100%/x%=950/804.48
(100/x)*x=(950/804.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1808870326173*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1808870326173) to get x
100/1.1808870326173=x
84.682105263158=x
x=84.682105263158

now we have:
804.48 is 84.682105263158% of 950
