501.9 is what percent of 754.95 - 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 754.95 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 754.95, so we can write it down as 100%=754.95.
4. We know, that x% equals 501.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=501.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=754.95
2) x%=501.9
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%=754.95/501.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 501.9 is what percent of 754.95

100%/x%=754.95/501.9
(100/x)*x=(754.95/501.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5041841004184*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5041841004184) to get x
100/1.5041841004184=x
66.481223922114=x
x=66.481223922114

now we have:
501.9 is 66.481223922114% of 754.95
