500.24 is what percent of 641.06 - 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 641.06 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 641.06, so we can write it down as 100%=641.06.
4. We know, that x% equals 500.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=500.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=641.06
2) x%=500.24
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%=641.06/500.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 500.24 is what percent of 641.06

100%/x%=641.06/500.24
(100/x)*x=(641.06/500.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2815048776587*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2815048776587) to get x
100/1.2815048776587=x
78.033257417402=x
x=78.033257417402

now we have:
500.24 is 78.033257417402% of 641.06
