92 is what percent of 753 - 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 753 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 753, so we can write it down as 100%=753.
4. We know, that x% equals 92 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=92.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=753
2) x%=92
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%=753/92
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 92 is what percent of 753

100%/x%=753/92
(100/x)*x=(753/92)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.1847826086957*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.1847826086957) to get x
100/8.1847826086957=x
12.217795484728=x
x=12.217795484728

now we have:
92 is 12.217795484728% of 753
