433.16 is what percent of 600 - 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 600 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 600, so we can write it down as 100%=600.
4. We know, that x% equals 433.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=433.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=600
2) x%=433.16
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%=600/433.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 433.16 is what percent of 600

100%/x%=600/433.16
(100/x)*x=(600/433.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.3851694523963*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.3851694523963) to get x
100/1.3851694523963=x
72.193333333333=x
x=72.193333333333

now we have:
433.16 is 72.193333333333% of 600
