734.72 is what percent of 3018.69 - 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 3018.69 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 3018.69, so we can write it down as 100%=3018.69.
4. We know, that x% equals 734.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=734.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3018.69
2) x%=734.72
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%=3018.69/734.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 734.72 is what percent of 3018.69

100%/x%=3018.69/734.72
(100/x)*x=(3018.69/734.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.1086264155052*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.1086264155052) to get x
100/4.1086264155052=x
24.339034481845=x
x=24.339034481845

now we have:
734.72 is 24.339034481845% of 3018.69
