545.5 is what percent of 602 - 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 602 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 602, so we can write it down as 100%=602.
4. We know, that x% equals 545.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=545.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=602
2) x%=545.5
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%=602/545.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 545.5 is what percent of 602

100%/x%=602/545.5
(100/x)*x=(602/545.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1035747021082*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1035747021082) to get x
100/1.1035747021082=x
90.614617940199=x
x=90.614617940199

now we have:
545.5 is 90.614617940199% of 602
