82.54 is what percent of 800.28 - 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 800.28 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 800.28, so we can write it down as 100%=800.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 82.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=82.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=800.28
2) x%=82.54
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%=800.28/82.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 82.54 is what percent of 800.28

100%/x%=800.28/82.54
(100/x)*x=(800.28/82.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=9.6956627089896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (9.6956627089896) to get x
100/9.6956627089896=x
10.313890138452=x
x=10.313890138452

now we have:
82.54 is 10.313890138452% of 800.28
