682.57 is what percent of 730 - 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 730 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 730, so we can write it down as 100%=730.
4. We know, that x% equals 682.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=682.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=730
2) x%=682.57
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%=730/682.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 682.57 is what percent of 730

100%/x%=730/682.57
(100/x)*x=(730/682.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0694873785839*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0694873785839) to get x
100/1.0694873785839=x
93.502739726027=x
x=93.502739726027

now we have:
682.57 is 93.502739726027% of 730
