856.26 is what percent of 1299 - 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 1299 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 1299, so we can write it down as 100%=1299.
4. We know, that x% equals 856.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=856.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1299
2) x%=856.26
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%=1299/856.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 856.26 is what percent of 1299

100%/x%=1299/856.26
(100/x)*x=(1299/856.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5170625744517*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5170625744517) to get x
100/1.5170625744517=x
65.916859122402=x
x=65.916859122402

now we have:
856.26 is 65.916859122402% of 1299
