1037.4 is what percent of 570 - 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 570 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 570, so we can write it down as 100%=570.
4. We know, that x% equals 1037.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1037.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=570
2) x%=1037.4
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%=570/1037.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1037.4 is what percent of 570

100%/x%=570/1037.4
(100/x)*x=(570/1037.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.54945054945055*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.54945054945055) to get x
100/0.54945054945055=x
182=x
x=182

now we have:
1037.4 is 182% of 570
