275.22 is what percent of 523.58 - 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 523.58 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 523.58, so we can write it down as 100%=523.58.
4. We know, that x% equals 275.22 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=275.22.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=523.58
2) x%=275.22
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%=523.58/275.22
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 275.22 is what percent of 523.58

100%/x%=523.58/275.22
(100/x)*x=(523.58/275.22)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9024053484485*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9024053484485) to get x
100/1.9024053484485=x
52.565033041751=x
x=52.565033041751

now we have:
275.22 is 52.565033041751% of 523.58
