215.32 is what percent of 859.11 - 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 859.11 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 859.11, so we can write it down as 100%=859.11.
4. We know, that x% equals 215.32 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=215.32.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=859.11
2) x%=215.32
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%=859.11/215.32
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 215.32 is what percent of 859.11

100%/x%=859.11/215.32
(100/x)*x=(859.11/215.32)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.989921976593*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.989921976593) to get x
100/3.989921976593=x
25.063146744887=x
x=25.063146744887

now we have:
