529.25 is what percent of 682 - 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 682 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 682, so we can write it down as 100%=682.
4. We know, that x% equals 529.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=529.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=682
2) x%=529.25
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%=682/529.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 529.25 is what percent of 682

100%/x%=682/529.25
(100/x)*x=(682/529.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2886159659896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2886159659896) to get x
100/1.2886159659896=x
77.602639296188=x
x=77.602639296188

now we have:
529.25 is 77.602639296188% of 682
