744.8 is what percent of 9310 - 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 9310 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 9310, so we can write it down as 100%=9310.
4. We know, that x% equals 744.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=744.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=9310
2) x%=744.8
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%=9310/744.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 744.8 is what percent of 9310

100%/x%=9310/744.8
(100/x)*x=(9310/744.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.5) to get x
100/12.5=x
8=x
x=8

now we have:
744.8 is 8% of 9310
