736.2 is what percent of 4220.3 - 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 4220.3 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 4220.3, so we can write it down as 100%=4220.3.
4. We know, that x% equals 736.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=736.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4220.3
2) x%=736.2
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%=4220.3/736.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 736.2 is what percent of 4220.3

100%/x%=4220.3/736.2
(100/x)*x=(4220.3/736.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.7325455039391*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.7325455039391) to get x
100/5.7325455039391=x
17.444257517238=x
x=17.444257517238

now we have:
736.2 is 17.444257517238% of 4220.3
