537 is what percent of 1 - 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 1 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 1, so we can write it down as 100%=1.
4. We know, that x% equals 537 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=537.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1
2) x%=537
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%=1/537
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 537 is what percent of 1

100%/x%=1/537
(100/x)*x=(1/537)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.0018621973929236*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.0018621973929236) to get x
100/0.0018621973929236=x
53700=x
x=53700

now we have:
537 is 53700% of 1
