313.2 is what percent of 656.2 - 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 656.2 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 656.2, so we can write it down as 100%=656.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 313.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=313.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=656.2
2) x%=313.2
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%=656.2/313.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 313.2 is what percent of 656.2

100%/x%=656.2/313.2
(100/x)*x=(656.2/313.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.0951468710089*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.0951468710089) to get x
100/2.0951468710089=x
47.729350807681=x
x=47.729350807681

now we have:
313.2 is 47.729350807681% of 656.2
