520.04 is what percent of 597.75 - 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 597.75 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 597.75, so we can write it down as 100%=597.75.
4. We know, that x% equals 520.04 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=520.04.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=597.75
2) x%=520.04
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%=597.75/520.04
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 520.04 is what percent of 597.75

100%/x%=597.75/520.04
(100/x)*x=(597.75/520.04)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1494308130144*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1494308130144) to get x
100/1.1494308130144=x
86.999581764952=x
x=86.999581764952

now we have:
520.04 is 86.999581764952% of 597.75
