85.56 is what percent of 1289 - 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 1289 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 1289, so we can write it down as 100%=1289.
4. We know, that x% equals 85.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=85.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1289
2) x%=85.56
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%=1289/85.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 85.56 is what percent of 1289

100%/x%=1289/85.56
(100/x)*x=(1289/85.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=15.065451145395*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (15.065451145395) to get x
100/15.065451145395=x
6.6377036462374=x
x=6.6377036462374

now we have:
85.56 is 6.6377036462374% of 1289
