72.17 is what percent of 943.33 - 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 943.33 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 943.33, so we can write it down as 100%=943.33.
4. We know, that x% equals 72.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=72.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=943.33
2) x%=72.17
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%=943.33/72.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 72.17 is what percent of 943.33

100%/x%=943.33/72.17
(100/x)*x=(943.33/72.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.070943605376*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.070943605376) to get x
100/13.070943605376=x
7.6505570691063=x
x=7.6505570691063

now we have:
72.17 is 7.6505570691063% of 943.33
