552.69 is what percent of 76000 - 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 76000 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 76000, so we can write it down as 100%=76000.
4. We know, that x% equals 552.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=552.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=76000
2) x%=552.69
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%=76000/552.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 552.69 is what percent of 76000

100%/x%=76000/552.69
(100/x)*x=(76000/552.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=137.50927282925*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (137.50927282925) to get x
100/137.50927282925=x
0.72722368421053=x
x=0.72722368421053

now we have:
552.69 is 0.72722368421053% of 76000
