572.86 is what percent of 777 - 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 777 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 777, so we can write it down as 100%=777.
4. We know, that x% equals 572.86 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=572.86.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=777
2) x%=572.86
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%=777/572.86
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 572.86 is what percent of 777

100%/x%=777/572.86
(100/x)*x=(777/572.86)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3563523373948*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3563523373948) to get x
100/1.3563523373948=x
73.727155727156=x
x=73.727155727156

now we have:
572.86 is 73.727155727156% of 777
