742.22 is what percent of 785 - 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 785 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 785, so we can write it down as 100%=785.
4. We know, that x% equals 742.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=742.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=785
2) x%=742.22
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%=785/742.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 742.22 is what percent of 785

100%/x%=785/742.22
(100/x)*x=(785/742.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0576378971195*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0576378971195) to get x
100/1.0576378971195=x
94.550318471338=x
x=94.550318471338

now we have:
742.22 is 94.550318471338% of 785
