82 is what percent of 1089 - 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 1089 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 1089, so we can write it down as 100%=1089.
4. We know, that x% equals 82 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=82.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1089
2) x%=82
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%=1089/82
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82 is what percent of 1089

100%/x%=1089/82
(100/x)*x=(1089/82)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.280487804878*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.280487804878) to get x
100/13.280487804878=x
7.5298438934803=x
x=7.5298438934803

now we have:
82 is 7.5298438934803% of 1089
