1380.74 is what percent of 890.8 - 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 890.8 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 890.8, so we can write it down as 100%=890.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 1380.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1380.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=890.8
2) x%=1380.74
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%=890.8/1380.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1380.74 is what percent of 890.8

100%/x%=890.8/1380.74
(100/x)*x=(890.8/1380.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.64516129032258*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.64516129032258) to get x
100/0.64516129032258=x
155=x
x=155

now we have:
1380.74 is 155% of 890.8
