727.05 is what percent of 555 - 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 555 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 555, so we can write it down as 100%=555.
4. We know, that x% equals 727.05 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=727.05.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=555
2) x%=727.05
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%=555/727.05
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 727.05 is what percent of 555

100%/x%=555/727.05
(100/x)*x=(555/727.05)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.76335877862595*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.76335877862595) to get x
100/0.76335877862595=x
131=x
x=131

now we have:
727.05 is 131% of 555
