Answer:

735 is 66.818181818182% of 1100

Explanation:

1. We assume, that the number 1100 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 1100, so we can write it down as 100%=1100.

4. We know, that x% equals 735 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=735.

5. Now we have two simple equations:

1) 100%=1100

2) x%=735

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%=1100/735

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 735 is what percent of 1100

100%/x%=1100/735

(100/x)*x=(1100/735)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

100=1.4965986394558*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4965986394558) to get x

100/1.4965986394558=x

66.818181818182=x

x=66.818181818182

now we have:

735 is 66.818181818182% of 1100
