695.98 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 695.98 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=695.98.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=722
2) x%=695.98
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%=722/695.98
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 695.98 is what percent of 722

100%/x%=722/695.98
(100/x)*x=(722/695.98)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0373861317854*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0373861317854) to get x
100/1.0373861317854=x
96.396121883657=x
x=96.396121883657

now we have:
695.98 is 96.396121883657% of 722
