741.29 is what percent of 750.31 - 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 750.31 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 750.31, so we can write it down as 100%=750.31.
4. We know, that x% equals 741.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=741.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=750.31
2) x%=741.29
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%=750.31/741.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 741.29 is what percent of 750.31

100%/x%=750.31/741.29
(100/x)*x=(750.31/741.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0121679774447*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0121679774447) to get x
100/1.0121679774447=x
98.797830230172=x
x=98.797830230172

now we have:
741.29 is 98.797830230172% of 750.31
