5.99 is what percent of 1319.64 - 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 1319.64 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 1319.64, so we can write it down as 100%=1319.64.
4. We know, that x% equals 5.99 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=5.99.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1319.64
2) x%=5.99
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%=1319.64/5.99
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 5.99 is what percent of 1319.64

100%/x%=1319.64/5.99
(100/x)*x=(1319.64/5.99)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=220.30717863105*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (220.30717863105) to get x
100/220.30717863105=x
0.45391167288048=x
x=0.45391167288048

now we have:
