730.15 is what percent of 10000 - 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 10000 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 10000, so we can write it down as 100%=10000.
4. We know, that x% equals 730.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=730.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=10000
2) x%=730.15
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%=10000/730.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 730.15 is what percent of 10000

100%/x%=10000/730.15
(100/x)*x=(10000/730.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=13.695815928234*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (13.695815928234) to get x
100/13.695815928234=x
7.3015=x
x=7.3015

now we have:
730.15 is 7.3015% of 10000
