809.35 is what percent of 1050 - 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 1050 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 1050, so we can write it down as 100%=1050.
4. We know, that x% equals 809.35 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=809.35.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1050
2) x%=809.35
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%=1050/809.35
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 809.35 is what percent of 1050

100%/x%=1050/809.35
(100/x)*x=(1050/809.35)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.297337369494*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.297337369494) to get x
100/1.297337369494=x
77.080952380952=x
x=77.080952380952

now we have:
809.35 is 77.080952380952% of 1050
