601.76 is what percent of 739.2 - 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 739.2 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 739.2, so we can write it down as 100%=739.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 601.76 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=601.76.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=739.2
2) x%=601.76
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%=739.2/601.76
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 601.76 is what percent of 739.2

100%/x%=739.2/601.76
(100/x)*x=(739.2/601.76)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2283967030045*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2283967030045) to get x
100/1.2283967030045=x
81.406926406926=x
x=81.406926406926

now we have:
601.76 is 81.406926406926% of 739.2
