79.34 is what percent of 915.98 - 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 915.98 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 915.98, so we can write it down as 100%=915.98.
4. We know, that x% equals 79.34 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=79.34.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=915.98
2) x%=79.34
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%=915.98/79.34
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 79.34 is what percent of 915.98

100%/x%=915.98/79.34
(100/x)*x=(915.98/79.34)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=11.544996218805*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (11.544996218805) to get x
100/11.544996218805=x
8.6617611738248=x
x=8.6617611738248

now we have:
