553.49 is what percent of 1274 - 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 1274 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 1274, so we can write it down as 100%=1274.
4. We know, that x% equals 553.49 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=553.49.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1274
2) x%=553.49
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%=1274/553.49
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 553.49 is what percent of 1274

100%/x%=1274/553.49
(100/x)*x=(1274/553.49)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.3017579360061*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.3017579360061) to get x
100/2.3017579360061=x
43.445054945055=x
x=43.445054945055

now we have:
553.49 is 43.445054945055% of 1274
