722.15 is what percent of 1816 - 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 1816 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 1816, so we can write it down as 100%=1816.
4. We know, that x% equals 722.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=722.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1816
2) x%=722.15
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%=1816/722.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 722.15 is what percent of 1816

100%/x%=1816/722.15
(100/x)*x=(1816/722.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5147130097625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5147130097625) to get x
100/2.5147130097625=x
39.765969162996=x
x=39.765969162996

now we have:
722.15 is 39.765969162996% of 1816
