412.27 is what percent of 530.57 - 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 530.57 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 530.57, so we can write it down as 100%=530.57.
4. We know, that x% equals 412.27 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=412.27.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=530.57
2) x%=412.27
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%=530.57/412.27
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 412.27 is what percent of 530.57

100%/x%=530.57/412.27
(100/x)*x=(530.57/412.27)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2869478739661*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2869478739661) to get x
100/1.2869478739661=x
77.703224833669=x
x=77.703224833669

now we have:
