847.05 is what percent of 1071.92 - 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 1071.92 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 1071.92, so we can write it down as 100%=1071.92.
4. We know, that x% equals 847.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=847.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1071.92
2) x%=847.05
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%=1071.92/847.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 847.05 is what percent of 1071.92

100%/x%=1071.92/847.05
(100/x)*x=(1071.92/847.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.265474293135*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.265474293135) to get x
100/1.265474293135=x
79.021755354877=x
x=79.021755354877

now we have:
