503.54 is what percent of 512 - 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 512 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 512, so we can write it down as 100%=512.
4. We know, that x% equals 503.54 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=503.54.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=512
2) x%=503.54
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%=512/503.54
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 503.54 is what percent of 512

100%/x%=512/503.54
(100/x)*x=(512/503.54)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0168010485761*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0168010485761) to get x
100/1.0168010485761=x
98.34765625=x
x=98.34765625

now we have:
503.54 is 98.34765625% of 512
