730.74 is what percent of 887.25 - 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 887.25 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 887.25, so we can write it down as 100%=887.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 730.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=730.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=887.25
2) x%=730.74
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%=887.25/730.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 730.74 is what percent of 887.25

100%/x%=887.25/730.74
(100/x)*x=(887.25/730.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2141801461532*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2141801461532) to get x
100/1.2141801461532=x
82.360101437025=x
x=82.360101437025

now we have:
730.74 is 82.360101437025% of 887.25
