395.55 is what percent of 616 - 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 616 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 616, so we can write it down as 100%=616.
4. We know, that x% equals 395.55 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=395.55.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=616
2) x%=395.55
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%=616/395.55
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 395.55 is what percent of 616

100%/x%=616/395.55
(100/x)*x=(616/395.55)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5573252433321*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5573252433321) to get x
100/1.5573252433321=x
64.212662337662=x
x=64.212662337662

now we have:
395.55 is 64.212662337662% of 616
