1316.5 is what percent of 2225 - 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 2225 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 2225, so we can write it down as 100%=2225.
4. We know, that x% equals 1316.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1316.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2225
2) x%=1316.5
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%=2225/1316.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1316.5 is what percent of 2225

100%/x%=2225/1316.5
(100/x)*x=(2225/1316.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6900873528295*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6900873528295) to get x
100/1.6900873528295=x
59.168539325843=x
x=59.168539325843

now we have:
1316.5 is 59.168539325843% of 2225
