694.75 is what percent of 938 - 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 938 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 938, so we can write it down as 100%=938.
4. We know, that x% equals 694.75 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=694.75.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=938
2) x%=694.75
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%=938/694.75
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 694.75 is what percent of 938

100%/x%=938/694.75
(100/x)*x=(938/694.75)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3501259445844*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3501259445844) to get x
100/1.3501259445844=x
74.067164179104=x
x=74.067164179104

now we have:
694.75 is 74.067164179104% of 938
