734.2 is what percent of 73400 - 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 73400 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 73400, so we can write it down as 100%=73400.
4. We know, that x% equals 734.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=734.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=73400
2) x%=734.2
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%=73400/734.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 734.2 is what percent of 73400

100%/x%=73400/734.2
(100/x)*x=(73400/734.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=99.972759466086*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (99.972759466086) to get x
100/99.972759466086=x
1.000272479564=x
x=1.000272479564

now we have:
734.2 is 1.000272479564% of 73400
