653.4 is what percent of 700 - 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 700 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 700, so we can write it down as 100%=700.
4. We know, that x% equals 653.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=653.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=700
2) x%=653.4
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%=700/653.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 653.4 is what percent of 700

100%/x%=700/653.4
(100/x)*x=(700/653.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0713192531374*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0713192531374) to get x
100/1.0713192531374=x
93.342857142857=x
x=93.342857142857

now we have:
653.4 is 93.342857142857% of 700
