534.24 is what percent of 755.79 - 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 755.79 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 755.79, so we can write it down as 100%=755.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 534.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=534.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=755.79
2) x%=534.24
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%=755.79/534.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 534.24 is what percent of 755.79

100%/x%=755.79/534.24
(100/x)*x=(755.79/534.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4147012578616*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4147012578616) to get x
100/1.4147012578616=x
70.686301750486=x
x=70.686301750486

now we have:
534.24 is 70.686301750486% of 755.79
