597.32 is what percent of 730 - 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 730 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 730, so we can write it down as 100%=730.
4. We know, that x% equals 597.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=597.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=730
2) x%=597.32
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%=730/597.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 597.32 is what percent of 730

100%/x%=730/597.32
(100/x)*x=(730/597.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2221254938726*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2221254938726) to get x
100/1.2221254938726=x
81.824657534247=x
x=81.824657534247

now we have:
597.32 is 81.824657534247% of 730
