512.16 is what percent of 1328.08 - 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 1328.08 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 1328.08, so we can write it down as 100%=1328.08.
4. We know, that x% equals 512.16 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=512.16.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1328.08
2) x%=512.16
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%=1328.08/512.16
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 512.16 is what percent of 1328.08

100%/x%=1328.08/512.16
(100/x)*x=(1328.08/512.16)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5930959075289*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5930959075289) to get x
100/2.5930959075289=x
38.563941931209=x
x=38.563941931209

now we have:
512.16 is 38.563941931209% of 1328.08
