10.36 is what percent of 714.15 - 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 714.15 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 714.15, so we can write it down as 100%=714.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=714.15
2) x%=10.36
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%=714.15/10.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.36 is what percent of 714.15

100%/x%=714.15/10.36
(100/x)*x=(714.15/10.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.9333976834*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.9333976834) to get x
100/68.9333976834=x
1.45067562837=x
x=1.45067562837

now we have:
10.36 is 1.45067562837% of 714.15
