738840.6 is what percent of 750000 - 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 750000 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 750000, so we can write it down as 100%=750000.
4. We know, that x% equals 738840.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=738840.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=750000
2) x%=738840.6
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%=750000/738840.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 738840.6 is what percent of 750000

100%/x%=750000/738840.6
(100/x)*x=(750000/738840.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0151039344616*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0151039344616) to get x
100/1.0151039344616=x
98.51208=x
x=98.51208

now we have:
738840.6 is 98.51208% of 750000
