507.3 is what percent of 4331.28 - 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 4331.28 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 4331.28, so we can write it down as 100%=4331.28.
4. We know, that x% equals 507.3 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=507.3.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=4331.28
2) x%=507.3
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%=4331.28/507.3
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 507.3 is what percent of 4331.28

100%/x%=4331.28/507.3
(100/x)*x=(4331.28/507.3)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.5379065641632*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.5379065641632) to get x
100/8.5379065641632=x
11.7124729872=x
x=11.7124729872

now we have:
