718.71 is what percent of 736.73 - 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 736.73 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 736.73, so we can write it down as 100%=736.73.
4. We know, that x% equals 718.71 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=718.71.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=736.73
2) x%=718.71
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%=736.73/718.71
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 718.71 is what percent of 736.73

100%/x%=736.73/718.71
(100/x)*x=(736.73/718.71)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0250726996981*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0250726996981) to get x
100/1.0250726996981=x
97.554056438587=x
x=97.554056438587

now we have:
