535.12 is what percent of 937.44 - 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 937.44 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 937.44, so we can write it down as 100%=937.44.
4. We know, that x% equals 535.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=535.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=937.44
2) x%=535.12
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%=937.44/535.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 535.12 is what percent of 937.44

100%/x%=937.44/535.12
(100/x)*x=(937.44/535.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7518313649275*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7518313649275) to get x
100/1.7518313649275=x
57.083119986346=x
x=57.083119986346

now we have:
