88 is what percent of 779 - 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 779 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 779, so we can write it down as 100%=779.
4. We know, that x% equals 88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=779
2) x%=88
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%=779/88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 88 is what percent of 779

100%/x%=779/88
(100/x)*x=(779/88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.8522727272727*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.8522727272727) to get x
100/8.8522727272727=x
11.296534017972=x
x=11.296534017972

now we have:
88 is 11.296534017972% of 779
