683.17 is what percent of 725 - 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 725 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 725, so we can write it down as 100%=725.
4. We know, that x% equals 683.17 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=683.17.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=725
2) x%=683.17
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%=725/683.17
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 683.17 is what percent of 725

100%/x%=725/683.17
(100/x)*x=(725/683.17)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0612292694351*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0612292694351) to get x
100/1.0612292694351=x
94.230344827586=x
x=94.230344827586

now we have:
683.17 is 94.230344827586% of 725
