739.26 is what percent of 221.78 - 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 221.78 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 221.78, so we can write it down as 100%=221.78.
4. We know, that x% equals 739.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=739.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=221.78
2) x%=739.26
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%=221.78/739.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 739.26 is what percent of 221.78

100%/x%=221.78/739.26
(100/x)*x=(221.78/739.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.30000270540811*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.30000270540811) to get x
100/0.30000270540811=x
333.33032735143=x
x=333.33032735143

now we have:
739.26 is 333.33032735143% of 221.78
