561.46 is what percent of 1260 - 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 1260 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 1260, so we can write it down as 100%=1260.
4. We know, that x% equals 561.46 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=561.46.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1260
2) x%=561.46
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%=1260/561.46
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 561.46 is what percent of 1260

100%/x%=1260/561.46
(100/x)*x=(1260/561.46)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=2.2441491824885*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (2.2441491824885) to get x
100/2.2441491824885=x
44.560317460317=x
x=44.560317460317

now we have:
561.46 is 44.560317460317% of 1260
