324.5 is what percent of 519 - 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 519 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 519, so we can write it down as 100%=519.
4. We know, that x% equals 324.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=324.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=519
2) x%=324.5
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%=519/324.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 324.5 is what percent of 519

100%/x%=519/324.5
(100/x)*x=(519/324.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5993836671803*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5993836671803) to get x
100/1.5993836671803=x
62.52408477842=x
x=62.52408477842

now we have:
324.5 is 62.52408477842% of 519
