551.12 is what percent of 573.25 - 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 573.25 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 573.25, so we can write it down as 100%=573.25.
4. We know, that x% equals 551.12 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=551.12.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=573.25
2) x%=551.12
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%=573.25/551.12
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 551.12 is what percent of 573.25

100%/x%=573.25/551.12
(100/x)*x=(573.25/551.12)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0401545942807*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0401545942807) to get x
100/1.0401545942807=x
96.139555167902=x
x=96.139555167902

now we have:
