418.6 is what percent of 516.6 - 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 516.6 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 516.6, so we can write it down as 100%=516.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 418.6 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=418.6.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=516.6
2) x%=418.6
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%=516.6/418.6
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 418.6 is what percent of 516.6

100%/x%=516.6/418.6
(100/x)*x=(516.6/418.6)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2341137123746*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2341137123746) to get x
100/1.2341137123746=x
81.029810298103=x
x=81.029810298103

now we have:
418.6 is 81.029810298103% of 516.6
