345.01 is what percent of 541.75 - 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 541.75 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 541.75, so we can write it down as 100%=541.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 345.01 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=345.01.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=541.75
2) x%=345.01
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%=541.75/345.01
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 345.01 is what percent of 541.75

100%/x%=541.75/345.01
(100/x)*x=(541.75/345.01)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5702443407437*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5702443407437) to get x
100/1.5702443407437=x
63.684356252884=x
x=63.684356252884

now we have:
345.01 is 63.684356252884% of 541.75
