735.4 is what percent of 1080 - 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 1080 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 1080, so we can write it down as 100%=1080.
4. We know, that x% equals 735.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=735.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1080
2) x%=735.4
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%=1080/735.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 735.4 is what percent of 1080

100%/x%=1080/735.4
(100/x)*x=(1080/735.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4685885232527*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4685885232527) to get x
100/1.4685885232527=x
68.092592592593=x
x=68.092592592593

now we have:
735.4 is 68.092592592593% of 1080
