407.6 is what percent of 570 - 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 570 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 570, so we can write it down as 100%=570.
4. We know, that x% equals 407.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=407.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=570
2) x%=407.6
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%=570/407.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 407.6 is what percent of 570

100%/x%=570/407.6
(100/x)*x=(570/407.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3984298331698*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3984298331698) to get x
100/1.3984298331698=x
71.508771929825=x
x=71.508771929825

now we have:
407.6 is 71.508771929825% of 570
