722 is what percent of 562000 - 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 562000 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 562000, so we can write it down as 100%=562000.
4. We know, that x% equals 722 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=722.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=562000
2) x%=722
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%=562000/722
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 722 is what percent of 562000

100%/x%=562000/722
(100/x)*x=(562000/722)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=778.39335180055*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (778.39335180055) to get x
100/778.39335180055=x
0.12846975088968=x
x=0.12846975088968

now we have:
722 is 0.12846975088968% of 562000
