First, change the question into a mathematcal statement.
what percentage - this is what we are trying to find, so we put in a variable, x, as a place holder.
of means multiplication in math
$780.00 is a number, so it stays the same.
is means equals so we put =
$156.00 is a number, so it stays the same.
We now have
x*780=156.
solve for x. To do this, we divide by 780
156/780 = 0.2
Change your decimal to a percent and you get 20%

Suppose, x% of $780 is $ 156,
then, 780x/100= 156
x= 156* 100/ 780= 20
therefore, 20% of $ 780 is $ 156.

To figure this kind of problem out divide the second number by the first number: 156/780. Since you get .20 as an answer, 20% will be you percentile (just multiply the decimal by 100).

(p/100) * 780 = 156
(p/100) = (156/780)
p = 100(156/780)
p = 10(156/78)
p = 10 * 2
p = 20
ANS : 20%
