21.65 is what percent of 722 - 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 722 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 722, so we can write it down as 100%=722.
4. We know, that x% equals 21.65 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=21.65.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=722
2) x%=21.65
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%=722/21.65
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 21.65 is what percent of 722

100%/x%=722/21.65
(100/x)*x=(722/21.65)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=33.348729792148*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (33.348729792148) to get x
100/33.348729792148=x
2.9986149584488=x
x=2.9986149584488

now we have:
21.65 is 2.9986149584488% of 722
