941.79 is what percent of 1425.3 - 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 1425.3 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 1425.3, so we can write it down as 100%=1425.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 941.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=941.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1425.3
2) x%=941.79
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%=1425.3/941.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 941.79 is what percent of 1425.3

100%/x%=1425.3/941.79
(100/x)*x=(1425.3/941.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5133947058261*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5133947058261) to get x
100/1.5133947058261=x
66.076615449379=x
x=66.076615449379

now we have:
