728.03 is what percent of 960 - 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 960 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 960, so we can write it down as 100%=960.
4. We know, that x% equals 728.03 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=728.03.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=960
2) x%=728.03
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%=960/728.03
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 728.03 is what percent of 960

100%/x%=960/728.03
(100/x)*x=(960/728.03)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3186269796574*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3186269796574) to get x
100/1.3186269796574=x
75.836458333333=x
x=75.836458333333

now we have:
728.03 is 75.836458333333% of 960
