372.97 is what percent of 573.8 - 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 573.8 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 573.8, so we can write it down as 100%=573.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 372.97 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=372.97.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=573.8
2) x%=372.97
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%=573.8/372.97
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 372.97 is what percent of 573.8

100%/x%=573.8/372.97
(100/x)*x=(573.8/372.97)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5384615384615*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5384615384615) to get x
100/1.5384615384615=x
65=x
x=65

now we have:
372.97 is 65% of 573.8
