396.07 is what percent of 529.99 - 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 529.99 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 529.99, so we can write it down as 100%=529.99.
4. We know, that x% equals 396.07 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=396.07.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=529.99
2) x%=396.07
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%=529.99/396.07
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 396.07 is what percent of 529.99

100%/x%=529.99/396.07
(100/x)*x=(529.99/396.07)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3381220491327*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3381220491327) to get x
100/1.3381220491327=x
74.73159870941=x
x=74.73159870941

now we have:
396.07 is 74.73159870941% of 529.99
