667.75 is what percent of 720 - 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 720 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 720, so we can write it down as 100%=720.
4. We know, that x% equals 667.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=667.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=720
2) x%=667.75
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%=720/667.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 667.75 is what percent of 720

100%/x%=720/667.75
(100/x)*x=(720/667.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0782478472482*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0782478472482) to get x
100/1.0782478472482=x
92.743055555556=x
x=92.743055555556

now we have:
667.75 is 92.743055555556% of 720
