843.6 is what percent of 1123 - 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 1123 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 1123, so we can write it down as 100%=1123.
4. We know, that x% equals 843.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=843.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1123
2) x%=843.6
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%=1123/843.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 843.6 is what percent of 1123

100%/x%=1123/843.6
(100/x)*x=(1123/843.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3311996206733*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3311996206733) to get x
100/1.3311996206733=x
75.120213713268=x
x=75.120213713268

now we have:
843.6 is 75.120213713268% of 1123
