535.49 is what percent of 892.5 - 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 892.5 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 892.5, so we can write it down as 100%=892.5.
4. We know, that x% equals 535.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=535.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=892.5
2) x%=535.49
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%=892.5/535.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 535.49 is what percent of 892.5

100%/x%=892.5/535.49
(100/x)*x=(892.5/535.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.6666977908084*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.6666977908084) to get x
100/1.6666977908084=x
59.998879551821=x
x=59.998879551821

now we have:
535.49 is 59.998879551821% of 892.5
