111.74 is what percent of 657.24 - 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 657.24 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 657.24, so we can write it down as 100%=657.24.
4. We know, that x% equals 111.74 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=111.74.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=657.24
2) x%=111.74
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%=657.24/111.74
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 111.74 is what percent of 657.24

100%/x%=657.24/111.74
(100/x)*x=(657.24/111.74)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.8818686235905*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.8818686235905) to get x
100/5.8818686235905=x
17.001399793074=x
x=17.001399793074

now we have:
