What is 66.67 percent of 787.5 - 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 787.5 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 787.5 is 100%, so we can write it down as 787.5=100%.
4. We know, that x is 66.67% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=66.67%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 787.5=100%
2) x=66.67%
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:
787.5/x=100%/66.67%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 66.67% of 787.5

787.5/x=100/66.67
(787.5/x)*x=(100/66.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
787.5=1.4999250037498*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4999250037498) to get x
787.5/1.4999250037498=x
525.02625=x
x=525.02625

now we have:
66.67% of 787.5=525.02625
