411.08 is what percent of 616.62 - 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 616.62 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 616.62, so we can write it down as 100%=616.62.
4. We know, that x% equals 411.08 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=411.08.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=616.62
2) x%=411.08
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%=616.62/411.08
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 411.08 is what percent of 616.62

100%/x%=616.62/411.08
(100/x)*x=(616.62/411.08)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5) to get x
100/1.5=x
66.666666666667=x
x=66.666666666667

now we have:
411.08 is 66.666666666667% of 616.62
