748.83 is what percent of 200000 - 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 200000 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 200000, so we can write it down as 100%=200000.
4. We know, that x% equals 748.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=748.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=200000
2) x%=748.83
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%=200000/748.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 748.83 is what percent of 200000

100%/x%=200000/748.83
(100/x)*x=(200000/748.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=267.08331664063*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (267.08331664063) to get x
100/267.08331664063=x
0.374415=x
x=0.374415

now we have:
748.83 is 0.374415% of 200000
