858.85 is what percent of 48.76 - 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 48.76 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 48.76, so we can write it down as 100%=48.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 858.85 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=858.85.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=48.76
2) x%=858.85
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%=48.76/858.85
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 858.85 is what percent of 48.76

100%/x%=48.76/858.85
(100/x)*x=(48.76/858.85)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.056773592594749*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.056773592594749) to get x
100/0.056773592594749=x
1761.3822805578=x
x=1761.3822805578

now we have:
858.85 is 1761.3822805578% of 48.76
