537.36 is what percent of 732.89 - 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 732.89 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 732.89, so we can write it down as 100%=732.89.
4. We know, that x% equals 537.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=537.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=732.89
2) x%=537.36
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%=732.89/537.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 537.36 is what percent of 732.89

(100/x)*x=(732.89/537.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3638715200238*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3638715200238) to get x
100/1.3638715200238=x
73.32068932582=x
x=73.32068932582

now we have:
