720.27 is what percent of 2758.15 - 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 2758.15 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 2758.15, so we can write it down as 100%=2758.15.
4. We know, that x% equals 720.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=720.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2758.15
2) x%=720.27
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%=2758.15/720.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 720.27 is what percent of 2758.15

100%/x%=2758.15/720.27
(100/x)*x=(2758.15/720.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8293278909298*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8293278909298) to get x
100/3.8293278909298=x
26.114243242753=x
x=26.114243242753

now we have:
720.27 is 26.114243242753% of 2758.15
