536.68 is what percent of 2080.25 - 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 2080.25 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 2080.25, so we can write it down as 100%=2080.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 536.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=536.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2080.25
2) x%=536.68
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%=2080.25/536.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 536.68 is what percent of 2080.25

100%/x%=2080.25/536.68
(100/x)*x=(2080.25/536.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8761459342625*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8761459342625) to get x
100/3.8761459342625=x
25.79882225694=x
x=25.79882225694

now we have:
