225.36 is what percent of 679.58 - 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 679.58 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 679.58, so we can write it down as 100%=679.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 225.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=225.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=679.58
2) x%=225.36
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%=679.58/225.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 225.36 is what percent of 679.58

100%/x%=679.58/225.36
(100/x)*x=(679.58/225.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.0155307064253*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.0155307064253) to get x
100/3.0155307064253=x
33.161658671532=x
x=33.161658671532

now we have:
