3.16 is what percent of 666.52 - 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 666.52 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 666.52, so we can write it down as 100%=666.52.
4. We know, that x% equals 3.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=3.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=666.52
2) x%=3.16
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%=666.52/3.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 3.16 is what percent of 666.52

100%/x%=666.52/3.16
(100/x)*x=(666.52/3.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=210.92405063291*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (210.92405063291) to get x
100/210.92405063291=x
0.47410430294665=x
x=0.47410430294665

now we have:
3.16 is 0.47410430294665% of 666.52
