887.68 is what percent of 665.76 - 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 665.76 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 665.76, so we can write it down as 100%=665.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 887.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=887.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=665.76
2) x%=887.68
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%=665.76/887.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 887.68 is what percent of 665.76

100%/x%=665.76/887.68
(100/x)*x=(665.76/887.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.75*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.75) to get x
100/0.75=x
133.33333333333=x
x=133.33333333333

now we have:
887.68 is 133.33333333333% of 665.76
