559.72 is what percent of 2167 - 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 2167 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 2167, so we can write it down as 100%=2167.
4. We know, that x% equals 559.72 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=559.72.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2167
2) x%=559.72
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%=2167/559.72
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 559.72 is what percent of 2167

100%/x%=2167/559.72
(100/x)*x=(2167/559.72)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=3.8715786464661*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.8715786464661) to get x
100/3.8715786464661=x
25.829257037379=x
x=25.829257037379

now we have:
559.72 is 25.829257037379% of 2167
