503.31 is what percent of 545 - 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 545 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 545, so we can write it down as 100%=545.
4. We know, that x% equals 503.31 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=503.31.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=545
2) x%=503.31
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%=545/503.31
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 503.31 is what percent of 545

100%/x%=545/503.31
(100/x)*x=(545/503.31)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0828316544476*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0828316544476) to get x
100/1.0828316544476=x
92.350458715596=x
x=92.350458715596

now we have:
503.31 is 92.350458715596% of 545
