529.4 is what percent of 580000 - 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 580000 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 580000, so we can write it down as 100%=580000.
4. We know, that x% equals 529.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=529.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=580000
2) x%=529.4
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%=580000/529.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 529.4 is what percent of 580000

100%/x%=580000/529.4
(100/x)*x=(580000/529.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1095.5799017756*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1095.5799017756) to get x
100/1095.5799017756=x
0.091275862068966=x
x=0.091275862068966

now we have:
529.4 is 0.091275862068966% of 580000
