492.8 is what percent of 699.45 - 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 699.45 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 699.45, so we can write it down as 100%=699.45.
4. We know, that x% equals 492.8 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=492.8.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=699.45
2) x%=492.8
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%=699.45/492.8
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 492.8 is what percent of 699.45

100%/x%=699.45/492.8
(100/x)*x=(699.45/492.8)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.419338474026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.419338474026) to get x
100/1.419338474026=x
70.455357781114=x
x=70.455357781114

now we have:
492.8 is 70.455357781114% of 699.45
