99.98 is what percent of 728.65 - 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 728.65 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 728.65, so we can write it down as 100%=728.65.
4. We know, that x% equals 99.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=99.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=728.65
2) x%=99.98
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%=728.65/99.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 99.98 is what percent of 728.65

100%/x%=728.65/99.98
(100/x)*x=(728.65/99.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.2879575915183*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.2879575915183) to get x
100/7.2879575915183=x
13.721265353736=x
x=13.721265353736

now we have:
