397.48 is what percent of 567.08 - 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 567.08 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 567.08, so we can write it down as 100%=567.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 397.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=397.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=567.08
2) x%=397.48
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%=567.08/397.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 397.48 is what percent of 567.08

100%/x%=567.08/397.48
(100/x)*x=(567.08/397.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4266881352521*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4266881352521) to get x
100/1.4266881352521=x
70.092403188263=x
x=70.092403188263

now we have:
397.48 is 70.092403188263% of 567.08
