721.57 is what percent of 3573 - 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 3573 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 3573, so we can write it down as 100%=3573.
4. We know, that x% equals 721.57 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=721.57.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3573
2) x%=721.57
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%=3573/721.57
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 721.57 is what percent of 3573

100%/x%=3573/721.57
(100/x)*x=(3573/721.57)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.9517025375223*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.9517025375223) to get x
100/4.9517025375223=x
20.195074167366=x
x=20.195074167366

now we have:
721.57 is 20.195074167366% of 3573
