720.5 is what percent of 1067 - 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 1067 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 1067, so we can write it down as 100%=1067.
4. We know, that x% equals 720.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=720.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1067
2) x%=720.5
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%=1067/720.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 720.5 is what percent of 1067

100%/x%=1067/720.5
(100/x)*x=(1067/720.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4809160305344*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4809160305344) to get x
100/1.4809160305344=x
67.525773195876=x
x=67.525773195876

now we have:
720.5 is 67.525773195876% of 1067
