836.5 is what percent of 1110 - 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 1110 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 1110, so we can write it down as 100%=1110.
4. We know, that x% equals 836.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=836.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1110
2) x%=836.5
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%=1110/836.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 836.5 is what percent of 1110

100%/x%=1110/836.5
(100/x)*x=(1110/836.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3269575612672*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3269575612672) to get x
100/1.3269575612672=x
75.36036036036=x
x=75.36036036036

now we have:
836.5 is 75.36036036036% of 1110
