895.29 is what percent of 1120 - 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 1120 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 1120, so we can write it down as 100%=1120.
4. We know, that x% equals 895.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=895.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1120
2) x%=895.29
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%=1120/895.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 895.29 is what percent of 1120

100%/x%=1120/895.29
(100/x)*x=(1120/895.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2509912989087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2509912989087) to get x
100/1.2509912989087=x
79.936607142857=x
x=79.936607142857

now we have:
895.29 is 79.936607142857% of 1120
