145.7 is what percent of 582.2 - 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 582.2 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 582.2, so we can write it down as 100%=582.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 145.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=145.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=582.2
2) x%=145.7
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%=582.2/145.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 145.7 is what percent of 582.2

100%/x%=582.2/145.7
(100/x)*x=(582.2/145.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.9958819492107*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.9958819492107) to get x
100/3.9958819492107=x
25.02576434215=x
x=25.02576434215

now we have:
145.7 is 25.02576434215% of 582.2
