10.56 is what percent of 728.44 - 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 728.44 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 728.44, so we can write it down as 100%=728.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 10.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=10.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=728.44
2) x%=10.56
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%=728.44/10.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 10.56 is what percent of 728.44

100%/x%=728.44/10.56
(100/x)*x=(728.44/10.56)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=68.981060606061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (68.981060606061) to get x
100/68.981060606061=x
1.4496732743946=x
x=1.4496732743946

now we have:
10.56 is 1.4496732743946% of 728.44
