407.02 is what percent of 594 - 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 594 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 594, so we can write it down as 100%=594.
4. We know, that x% equals 407.02 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=407.02.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=594
2) x%=407.02
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%=594/407.02
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 407.02 is what percent of 594

100%/x%=594/407.02
(100/x)*x=(594/407.02)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.459387745074*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.459387745074) to get x
100/1.459387745074=x
68.521885521886=x
x=68.521885521886

now we have:
407.02 is 68.521885521886% of 594
