810.73 is what percent of 1046.74 - 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 1046.74 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 1046.74, so we can write it down as 100%=1046.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 810.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=810.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1046.74
2) x%=810.73
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%=1046.74/810.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 810.73 is what percent of 1046.74

100%/x%=1046.74/810.73
(100/x)*x=(1046.74/810.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2911080137654*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2911080137654) to get x
100/1.2911080137654=x
77.452853621721=x
x=77.452853621721

now we have:
810.73 is 77.452853621721% of 1046.74
