64.61 is what percent of 80.08 - 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 80.08 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 80.08, so we can write it down as 100%=80.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 64.61 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=64.61.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=80.08
2) x%=64.61
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%=80.08/64.61
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 64.61 is what percent of 80.08

100%/x%=80.08/64.61
(100/x)*x=(80.08/64.61)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2394366197183*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2394366197183) to get x
100/1.2394366197183=x
80.681818181818=x
x=80.681818181818

now we have:
64.61 is 80.681818181818% of 80.08
