127.66 is what percent of 744.75 - 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 744.75 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 744.75, so we can write it down as 100%=744.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 127.66 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=127.66.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=744.75
2) x%=127.66
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%=744.75/127.66
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 127.66 is what percent of 744.75

100%/x%=744.75/127.66
(100/x)*x=(744.75/127.66)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8338555538148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8338555538148) to get x
100/5.8338555538148=x
17.141322591474=x
x=17.141322591474

now we have:
