845.64 is what percent of 995 - 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 995 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 995, so we can write it down as 100%=995.
4. We know, that x% equals 845.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=845.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=995
2) x%=845.64
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%=995/845.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 845.64 is what percent of 995

100%/x%=995/845.64
(100/x)*x=(995/845.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1766236223452*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1766236223452) to get x
100/1.1766236223452=x
84.988944723618=x
x=84.988944723618

now we have:
845.64 is 84.988944723618% of 995
