736.51 is what percent of 925 - 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 925 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 925, so we can write it down as 100%=925.
4. We know, that x% equals 736.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=736.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=925
2) x%=736.51
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%=925/736.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 736.51 is what percent of 925

100%/x%=925/736.51
(100/x)*x=(925/736.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2559232053876*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2559232053876) to get x
100/1.2559232053876=x
79.622702702703=x
x=79.622702702703

now we have:
736.51 is 79.622702702703% of 925
