875.5 is what percent of 1.01 - 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 1.01 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 1.01, so we can write it down as 100%=1.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 875.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=875.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1.01
2) x%=875.5
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%=1.01/875.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 875.5 is what percent of 1.01

100%/x%=1.01/875.5
(100/x)*x=(1.01/875.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0011536264991433*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0011536264991433) to get x
100/0.0011536264991433=x
86683.168316832=x
x=86683.168316832

now we have:
875.5 is 86683.168316832% of 1.01
