324.16 is what percent of 594 - 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 594 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 594, so we can write it down as 100%=594.
4. We know, that x% equals 324.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=324.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=594
2) x%=324.16
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%=594/324.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 324.16 is what percent of 594

100%/x%=594/324.16
(100/x)*x=(594/324.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.8324284304047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.8324284304047) to get x
100/1.8324284304047=x
54.572390572391=x
x=54.572390572391

now we have:
324.16 is 54.572390572391% of 594
