23.62 is what percent of 573 - 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 573 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 573, so we can write it down as 100%=573.
4. We know, that x% equals 23.62 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=23.62.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=573
2) x%=23.62
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%=573/23.62
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 23.62 is what percent of 573

100%/x%=573/23.62
(100/x)*x=(573/23.62)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=24.259102455546*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (24.259102455546) to get x
100/24.259102455546=x
4.1221640488656=x
x=4.1221640488656

now we have:
23.62 is 4.1221640488656% of 573
