To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 7831.94 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 7831.94, so we can write it down as 100%=7831.94.
4. We know, that x% equals 740.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=740.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7831.94
2) x%=740.07
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%=7831.94/740.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 740.07 is what percent of 7831.94

100%/x%=7831.94/740.07
(100/x)*x=(7831.94/740.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.582701636332*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.582701636332) to get x
100/10.582701636332=x
9.4493829115136=x
x=9.4493829115136

now we have:
