879.9 is what percent of 1094.1 - 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 1094.1 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 1094.1, so we can write it down as 100%=1094.1.
4. We know, that x% equals 879.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=879.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1094.1
2) x%=879.9
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%=1094.1/879.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 879.9 is what percent of 1094.1

100%/x%=1094.1/879.9
(100/x)*x=(1094.1/879.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2434367541766*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2434367541766) to get x
100/1.2434367541766=x
80.42226487524=x
x=80.42226487524

now we have:
879.9 is 80.42226487524% of 1094.1
