719.4 is what percent of 1497 - 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 1497 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 1497, so we can write it down as 100%=1497.
4. We know, that x% equals 719.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=719.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1497
2) x%=719.4
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%=1497/719.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 719.4 is what percent of 1497

100%/x%=1497/719.4
(100/x)*x=(1497/719.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0809007506255*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0809007506255) to get x
100/2.0809007506255=x
48.056112224449=x
x=48.056112224449

now we have:
719.4 is 48.056112224449% of 1497
