110.5 is what percent of 659.2 - 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 659.2 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 659.2, so we can write it down as 100%=659.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 110.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=110.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=659.2
2) x%=110.5
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%=659.2/110.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 110.5 is what percent of 659.2

100%/x%=659.2/110.5
(100/x)*x=(659.2/110.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.9656108597285*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.9656108597285) to get x
100/5.9656108597285=x
16.762742718447=x
x=16.762742718447

now we have:
110.5 is 16.762742718447% of 659.2
