866 is what percent of 1095 - 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 1095 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 1095, so we can write it down as 100%=1095.
4. We know, that x% equals 866 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=866.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1095
2) x%=866
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%=1095/866
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 866 is what percent of 1095

100%/x%=1095/866
(100/x)*x=(1095/866)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2644341801386*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2644341801386) to get x
100/1.2644341801386=x
79.086757990868=x
x=79.086757990868

now we have:
866 is 79.086757990868% of 1095
