545.67 is what percent of 738 - 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 738 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 738, so we can write it down as 100%=738.
4. We know, that x% equals 545.67 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=545.67.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=738
2) x%=545.67
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%=738/545.67
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 545.67 is what percent of 738

100%/x%=738/545.67
(100/x)*x=(738/545.67)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3524657760185*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3524657760185) to get x
100/1.3524657760185=x
73.939024390244=x
x=73.939024390244

now we have:
545.67 is 73.939024390244% of 738
