394.37 is what percent of 650 - 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 650 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 650, so we can write it down as 100%=650.
4. We know, that x% equals 394.37 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=394.37.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=650
2) x%=394.37
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%=650/394.37
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 394.37 is what percent of 650

100%/x%=650/394.37
(100/x)*x=(650/394.37)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6481983923726*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6481983923726) to get x
100/1.6481983923726=x
60.672307692308=x
x=60.672307692308

now we have:
394.37 is 60.672307692308% of 650
