515.7 is what percent of 630.38 - 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 630.38 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 630.38, so we can write it down as 100%=630.38.
4. We know, that x% equals 515.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=515.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=630.38
2) x%=515.7
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%=630.38/515.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 515.7 is what percent of 630.38

100%/x%=630.38/515.7
(100/x)*x=(630.38/515.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2223773511732*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2223773511732) to get x
100/1.2223773511732=x
81.807798470764=x
x=81.807798470764

now we have:
515.7 is 81.807798470764% of 630.38
