115.12 is what percent of 605.88 - 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 605.88 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 605.88, so we can write it down as 100%=605.88.
4. We know, that x% equals 115.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=115.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=605.88
2) x%=115.12
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%=605.88/115.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 115.12 is what percent of 605.88

100%/x%=605.88/115.12
(100/x)*x=(605.88/115.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=5.2630298818624*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.2630298818624) to get x
100/5.2630298818624=x
19.000462137717=x
x=19.000462137717

now we have:
