50.59 is what percent of 650.82 - 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 650.82 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 650.82, so we can write it down as 100%=650.82.
4. We know, that x% equals 50.59 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=50.59.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=650.82
2) x%=50.59
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%=650.82/50.59
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 50.59 is what percent of 650.82

100%/x%=650.82/50.59
(100/x)*x=(650.82/50.59)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=12.86459774659*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (12.86459774659) to get x
100/12.86459774659=x
7.7732706431886=x
x=7.7732706431886

now we have:
50.59 is 7.7732706431886% of 650.82
