501.48 is what percent of 2176 - 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 2176 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 2176, so we can write it down as 100%=2176.
4. We know, that x% equals 501.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=501.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2176
2) x%=501.48
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%=2176/501.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 501.48 is what percent of 2176

100%/x%=2176/501.48
(100/x)*x=(2176/501.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3391560979501*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3391560979501) to get x
100/4.3391560979501=x
23.045955882353=x
x=23.045955882353

now we have:
501.48 is 23.045955882353% of 2176
