723.37 is what percent of 2861.04 - 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 2861.04 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 2861.04, so we can write it down as 100%=2861.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 723.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=723.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2861.04
2) x%=723.37
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%=2861.04/723.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 723.37 is what percent of 2861.04

100%/x%=2861.04/723.37
(100/x)*x=(2861.04/723.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9551543470147*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9551543470147) to get x
100/3.9551543470147=x
25.283463355982=x
x=25.283463355982

now we have:
723.37 is 25.283463355982% of 2861.04
