842.12 is what percent of 819.73 - 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 819.73 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 819.73, so we can write it down as 100%=819.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 842.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=842.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=819.73
2) x%=842.12
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%=819.73/842.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 842.12 is what percent of 819.73

100%/x%=819.73/842.12
(100/x)*x=(819.73/842.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97341234028404*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97341234028404) to get x
100/0.97341234028404=x
102.73138716407=x
x=102.73138716407

now we have:
842.12 is 102.73138716407% of 819.73
