1641.5 is what percent of 2691.5 - 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 2691.5 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 2691.5, so we can write it down as 100%=2691.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 1641.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1641.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2691.5
2) x%=1641.5
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%=2691.5/1641.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1641.5 is what percent of 2691.5

100%/x%=2691.5/1641.5
(100/x)*x=(2691.5/1641.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6396588486141*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6396588486141) to get x
100/1.6396588486141=x
60.988296488947=x
x=60.988296488947

now we have:
