499.5 is what percent of 3695 - 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 3695 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 3695, so we can write it down as 100%=3695.
4. We know, that x% equals 499.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=499.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=3695
2) x%=499.5
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%=3695/499.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 499.5 is what percent of 3695

100%/x%=3695/499.5
(100/x)*x=(3695/499.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=7.3973973973974*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (7.3973973973974) to get x
100/7.3973973973974=x
13.518267929635=x
x=13.518267929635

now we have:
499.5 is 13.518267929635% of 3695
