504.28 is what percent of 1775 - 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 1775 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 1775, so we can write it down as 100%=1775.
4. We know, that x% equals 504.28 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=504.28.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1775
2) x%=504.28
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%=1775/504.28
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 504.28 is what percent of 1775

100%/x%=1775/504.28
(100/x)*x=(1775/504.28)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.5198699135401*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.5198699135401) to get x
100/3.5198699135401=x
28.41014084507=x
x=28.41014084507

now we have:
504.28 is 28.41014084507% of 1775
