Answer:

117.65%

Explanation:

make the assumption that 646 is 100% since it is our output value.

step 2. we next represent the value we seek with x.

step 3 . from step 1 , it follows that 100%=646

step 4. in the same vein, x%=760

step 6. this gives us our pair of equations 100%=646(1)

x%=760(2)

step 6. by simply dividing equation 2 and by taking note of the fact that both the LHS (left hand side) of both equations have the some unit (%); we have 100%=646(1) and x%=760(2)2

step 7. taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields 100%/x% = 646/760

= 117.65%

therefore , 760 is 117.65% of 646.
