624.69 is what percent of 708 - 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 708 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 708, so we can write it down as 100%=708.
4. We know, that x% equals 624.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=624.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=708
2) x%=624.69
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%=708/624.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 624.69 is what percent of 708

100%/x%=708/624.69
(100/x)*x=(708/624.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1333621476252*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1333621476252) to get x
100/1.1333621476252=x
88.233050847458=x
x=88.233050847458

now we have:
624.69 is 88.233050847458% of 708
