628.94 is what percent of 900 - 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 900 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 900, so we can write it down as 100%=900.
4. We know, that x% equals 628.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=628.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=900
2) x%=628.94
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%=900/628.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 628.94 is what percent of 900

100%/x%=900/628.94
(100/x)*x=(900/628.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.430979107705*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.430979107705) to get x
100/1.430979107705=x
69.882222222222=x
x=69.882222222222

now we have:
628.94 is 69.882222222222% of 900
