727.1 is what percent of 6.9 - 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 6.9 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 6.9, so we can write it down as 100%=6.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 727.1 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=727.1.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=6.9
2) x%=727.1
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%=6.9/727.1
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 727.1 is what percent of 6.9

100%/x%=6.9/727.1
(100/x)*x=(6.9/727.1)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0094897538165314*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0094897538165314) to get x
100/0.0094897538165314=x
10537.68115942=x
x=10537.68115942

now we have:
727.1 is 10537.68115942% of 6.9
