95.79 is what percent of 751.2 - 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 751.2 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 751.2, so we can write it down as 100%=751.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 95.79 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=95.79.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=751.2
2) x%=95.79
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%=751.2/95.79
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 95.79 is what percent of 751.2

100%/x%=751.2/95.79
(100/x)*x=(751.2/95.79)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.8421547134356*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.8421547134356) to get x
100/7.8421547134356=x
12.751597444089=x
x=12.751597444089

now we have:
95.79 is 12.751597444089% of 751.2
