702.05 is what percent of 772 - 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 772 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 772, so we can write it down as 100%=772.
4. We know, that x% equals 702.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=702.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=772
2) x%=702.05
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%=772/702.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 702.05 is what percent of 772

100%/x%=772/702.05
(100/x)*x=(772/702.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0996367780073*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0996367780073) to get x
100/1.0996367780073=x
90.939119170984=x
x=90.939119170984

now we have:
702.05 is 90.939119170984% of 772
