207.58 is what percent of 600 - 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 600 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 600, so we can write it down as 100%=600.
4. We know, that x% equals 207.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=207.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=600
2) x%=207.58
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%=600/207.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 207.58 is what percent of 600

100%/x%=600/207.58
(100/x)*x=(600/207.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.8904518739763*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.8904518739763) to get x
100/2.8904518739763=x
34.596666666667=x
x=34.596666666667

now we have:
207.58 is 34.596666666667% of 600
