426.58 is what percent of 688.03 - 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 688.03 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 688.03, so we can write it down as 100%=688.03.
4. We know, that x% equals 426.58 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=426.58.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=688.03
2) x%=426.58
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%=688.03/426.58
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 426.58 is what percent of 688.03

100%/x%=688.03/426.58
(100/x)*x=(688.03/426.58)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6128979323925*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6128979323925) to get x
100/1.6128979323925=x
62.000203479499=x
x=62.000203479499

now we have:
426.58 is 62.000203479499% of 688.03
