719.94 is what percent of 59 - 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 59 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 59, so we can write it down as 100%=59.
4. We know, that x% equals 719.94 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=719.94.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=59
2) x%=719.94
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%=59/719.94
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 719.94 is what percent of 59

100%/x%=59/719.94
(100/x)*x=(59/719.94)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.081951273717254*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.081951273717254) to get x
100/0.081951273717254=x
1220.2372881356=x
x=1220.2372881356

now we have:
719.94 is 1220.2372881356% of 59
