874.67 is what percent of 1.798 - 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 1.798 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 1.798, so we can write it down as 100%=1.798.
4. We know, that x% equals 874.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=874.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.798
2) x%=874.67
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%=1.798/874.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 874.67 is what percent of 1.798

100%/x%=1.798/874.67
(100/x)*x=(1.798/874.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0020556324099375*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0020556324099375) to get x
100/0.0020556324099375=x
48646.829810901=x
x=48646.829810901

now we have:
874.67 is 48646.829810901% of 1.798
