535.83 is what percent of 808.8 - 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 808.8 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 808.8, so we can write it down as 100%=808.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 535.83 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=535.83.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=808.8
2) x%=535.83
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%=808.8/535.83
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 535.83 is what percent of 808.8

100%/x%=808.8/535.83
(100/x)*x=(808.8/535.83)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5094339622642*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5094339622642) to get x
100/1.5094339622642=x
66.25=x
x=66.25

now we have:
535.83 is 66.25% of 808.8
