67.26 is what percent of 840.76 - 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 840.76 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 840.76, so we can write it down as 100%=840.76.
4. We know, that x% equals 67.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=67.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=840.76
2) x%=67.26
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%=840.76/67.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 67.26 is what percent of 840.76

100%/x%=840.76/67.26
(100/x)*x=(840.76/67.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.500148676777*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.500148676777) to get x
100/12.500148676777=x
7.9999048479947=x
x=7.9999048479947

now we have:
