682.38 is what percent of 736 - 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 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, so we can write it down as 100%=736.
4. We know, that x% equals 682.38 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=682.38.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=736
2) x%=682.38
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%=736/682.38
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 682.38 is what percent of 736

100%/x%=736/682.38
(100/x)*x=(736/682.38)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0785779184619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0785779184619) to get x
100/1.0785779184619=x
92.714673913043=x
x=92.714673913043

now we have:
682.38 is 92.714673913043% of 736
