682.5 is what percent of 752.17 - 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 752.17 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 752.17, so we can write it down as 100%=752.17.
4. We know, that x% equals 682.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=682.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=752.17
2) x%=682.5
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%=752.17/682.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 682.5 is what percent of 752.17

100%/x%=752.17/682.5
(100/x)*x=(752.17/682.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1020805860806*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1020805860806) to get x
100/1.1020805860806=x
90.737466264275=x
x=90.737466264275

now we have:
682.5 is 90.737466264275% of 752.17
