812.5 is what percent of 775 - 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 775 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 775, so we can write it down as 100%=775.
4. We know, that x% equals 812.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=812.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=775
2) x%=812.5
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%=775/812.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 812.5 is what percent of 775

100%/x%=775/812.5
(100/x)*x=(775/812.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.95384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.95384615384615) to get x
100/0.95384615384615=x
104.83870967742=x
x=104.83870967742

now we have:
812.5 is 104.83870967742% of 775
