1021.74 is what percent of 1406.53 - 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 1406.53 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 1406.53, so we can write it down as 100%=1406.53.
4. We know, that x% equals 1021.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1021.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1406.53
2) x%=1021.74
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%=1406.53/1021.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1021.74 is what percent of 1406.53

100%/x%=1406.53/1021.74
(100/x)*x=(1406.53/1021.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3766026582105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3766026582105) to get x
100/1.3766026582105=x
72.642602717326=x
x=72.642602717326

now we have:
