514.24 is what percent of 1308 - 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 1308 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 1308, so we can write it down as 100%=1308.
4. We know, that x% equals 514.24 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=514.24.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1308
2) x%=514.24
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%=1308/514.24
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 514.24 is what percent of 1308

100%/x%=1308/514.24
(100/x)*x=(1308/514.24)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5435594275047*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5435594275047) to get x
100/2.5435594275047=x
39.31498470948=x
x=39.31498470948

now we have:
514.24 is 39.31498470948% of 1308
