22.97 is what percent of 727.79 - 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 727.79 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 727.79, so we can write it down as 100%=727.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 22.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=22.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=727.79
2) x%=22.97
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%=727.79/22.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 22.97 is what percent of 727.79

100%/x%=727.79/22.97
(100/x)*x=(727.79/22.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=31.684370918589*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (31.684370918589) to get x
100/31.684370918589=x
3.1561302023935=x
x=3.1561302023935

now we have:
