736.29 is what percent of 600.72 - 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 600.72 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 600.72, so we can write it down as 100%=600.72.
4. We know, that x% equals 736.29 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=736.29.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=600.72
2) x%=736.29
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%=600.72/736.29
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 736.29 is what percent of 600.72

100%/x%=600.72/736.29
(100/x)*x=(600.72/736.29)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.81587418001059*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.81587418001059) to get x
100/0.81587418001059=x
122.5679184978=x
x=122.5679184978

now we have:
