546.72 is what percent of 1773.8 - 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 1773.8 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 1773.8, so we can write it down as 100%=1773.8.
4. We know, that x% equals 546.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=546.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1773.8
2) x%=546.72
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%=1773.8/546.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 546.72 is what percent of 1773.8

100%/x%=1773.8/546.72
(100/x)*x=(1773.8/546.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.2444395668715*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.2444395668715) to get x
100/3.2444395668715=x
30.821964144774=x
x=30.821964144774

now we have:
