175.96 is what percent of 310.79 - 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 310.79 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 310.79, so we can write it down as 100%=310.79.
4. We know, that x% equals 175.96 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=175.96.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=310.79
2) x%=175.96
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%=310.79/175.96
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 175.96 is what percent of 310.79

100%/x%=310.79/175.96
(100/x)*x=(310.79/175.96)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7662536940214*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7662536940214) to get x
100/1.7662536940214=x
56.617008269249=x
x=56.617008269249

now we have:
175.96 is 56.617008269249% of 310.79
