843.5 is what percent of 795 - 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 795 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 795, so we can write it down as 100%=795.
4. We know, that x% equals 843.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=843.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=795
2) x%=843.5
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%=795/843.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 843.5 is what percent of 795

100%/x%=795/843.5
(100/x)*x=(795/843.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.94250148192057*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.94250148192057) to get x
100/0.94250148192057=x
106.10062893082=x
x=106.10062893082

now we have:
843.5 is 106.10062893082% of 795
