899.19 is what percent of 875 - 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 875 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 875, so we can write it down as 100%=875.
4. We know, that x% equals 899.19 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=899.19.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=875
2) x%=899.19
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%=875/899.19
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 899.19 is what percent of 875

100%/x%=875/899.19
(100/x)*x=(875/899.19)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.97309801043161*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.97309801043161) to get x
100/0.97309801043161=x
102.76457142857=x
x=102.76457142857

now we have:
899.19 is 102.76457142857% of 875
