83.89 is what percent of 1758 - 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 1758 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 1758, so we can write it down as 100%=1758.
4. We know, that x% equals 83.89 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=83.89.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1758
2) x%=83.89
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%=1758/83.89
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 83.89 is what percent of 1758

100%/x%=1758/83.89
(100/x)*x=(1758/83.89)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=20.956013827631*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (20.956013827631) to get x
100/20.956013827631=x
4.7718998862344=x
x=4.7718998862344

now we have:
83.89 is 4.7718998862344% of 1758
