513.83 is what percent of 555 - 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 555 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 555, so we can write it down as 100%=555.
4. We know, that x% equals 513.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=513.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=555
2) x%=513.83
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%=555/513.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 513.83 is what percent of 555

100%/x%=555/513.83
(100/x)*x=(555/513.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0801237763463*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0801237763463) to get x
100/1.0801237763463=x
92.581981981982=x
x=92.581981981982

now we have:
513.83 is 92.581981981982% of 555
