107.3 is what percent of 1724.79 - 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 1724.79 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 1724.79, so we can write it down as 100%=1724.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 107.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=107.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1724.79
2) x%=107.3
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%=1724.79/107.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 107.3 is what percent of 1724.79

100%/x%=1724.79/107.3
(100/x)*x=(1724.79/107.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=16.074464119292*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (16.074464119292) to get x
100/16.074464119292=x
6.221047199949=x
x=6.221047199949

now we have:
