563.52 is what percent of 755 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=755.
4. We know, that x% equals 563.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=563.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=755
2) x%=563.52
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%=755/563.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 563.52 is what percent of 755

100%/x%=755/563.52
(100/x)*x=(755/563.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3397927314026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3397927314026) to get x
100/1.3397927314026=x
74.638410596026=x
x=74.638410596026

now we have:
563.52 is 74.638410596026% of 755
