549.36 is what percent of 824.04 - 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 824.04 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 824.04, so we can write it down as 100%=824.04.
4. We know, that x% equals 549.36 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=549.36.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=824.04
2) x%=549.36
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%=824.04/549.36
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 549.36 is what percent of 824.04

100%/x%=824.04/549.36
(100/x)*x=(824.04/549.36)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.5*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.5) to get x
100/1.5=x
66.666666666667=x
x=66.666666666667

now we have:
549.36 is 66.666666666667% of 824.04
