406.44 is what percent of 529.89 - 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 529.89 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 529.89, so we can write it down as 100%=529.89.
4. We know, that x% equals 406.44 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=406.44.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=529.89
2) x%=406.44
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%=529.89/406.44
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 406.44 is what percent of 529.89

100%/x%=529.89/406.44
(100/x)*x=(529.89/406.44)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3037348686153*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3037348686153) to get x
100/1.3037348686153=x
76.702711883598=x
x=76.702711883598

now we have:
