721.22 is what percent of 950.25 - 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 950.25 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 950.25, so we can write it down as 100%=950.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 721.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=721.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=950.25
2) x%=721.22
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%=950.25/721.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 721.22 is what percent of 950.25

100%/x%=950.25/721.22
(100/x)*x=(950.25/721.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3175591359086*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3175591359086) to get x
100/1.3175591359086=x
75.897921599579=x
x=75.897921599579

now we have:
721.22 is 75.897921599579% of 950.25
