326.59 is what percent of 499 - 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 499 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 499, so we can write it down as 100%=499.
4. We know, that x% equals 326.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=326.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=499
2) x%=326.59
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%=499/326.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 326.59 is what percent of 499

100%/x%=499/326.59
(100/x)*x=(499/326.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5279096114394*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5279096114394) to get x
100/1.5279096114394=x
65.448897795591=x
x=65.448897795591

now we have:
326.59 is 65.448897795591% of 499
