481.5 is what percent of 568 - 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 568 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 568, so we can write it down as 100%=568.
4. We know, that x% equals 481.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=481.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=568
2) x%=481.5
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%=568/481.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 481.5 is what percent of 568

100%/x%=568/481.5
(100/x)*x=(568/481.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1796469366563*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1796469366563) to get x
100/1.1796469366563=x
84.771126760563=x
x=84.771126760563

now we have:
481.5 is 84.771126760563% of 568
