529.78 is what percent of 1363.2 - 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 1363.2 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 1363.2, so we can write it down as 100%=1363.2.
4. We know, that x% equals 529.78 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=529.78.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1363.2
2) x%=529.78
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%=1363.2/529.78
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 529.78 is what percent of 1363.2

100%/x%=1363.2/529.78
(100/x)*x=(1363.2/529.78)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.5731435690287*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.5731435690287) to get x
100/2.5731435690287=x
38.862969483568=x
x=38.862969483568

now we have:
