292.8 is what percent of 604.9 - 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 604.9 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 604.9, so we can write it down as 100%=604.9.
4. We know, that x% equals 292.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=292.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=604.9
2) x%=292.8
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%=604.9/292.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 292.8 is what percent of 604.9

100%/x%=604.9/292.8
(100/x)*x=(604.9/292.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0659153005464*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0659153005464) to get x
100/2.0659153005464=x
48.404694990908=x
x=48.404694990908

now we have:
292.8 is 48.404694990908% of 604.9
