626.93 is what percent of 736.2 - 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 736.2 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 736.2, so we can write it down as 100%=736.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 626.93 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=626.93.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=736.2
2) x%=626.93
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%=736.2/626.93
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 626.93 is what percent of 736.2

100%/x%=736.2/626.93
(100/x)*x=(736.2/626.93)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1742937808049*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1742937808049) to get x
100/1.1742937808049=x
85.157565878837=x
x=85.157565878837

now we have:
626.93 is 85.157565878837% of 736.2
