Make a proportion: Put 169,000 over 727,000. Then put the percentage over 100.
It will look like this:
169000 %
---------- = ----------
727000 100
Then you cross multiply and divide. This means you multiply 169000 times 100. Take the answer and divide it by 727000 to get your percentage. The answer should come out to about 23.25%
