562.7 is what percent of 991.4 - 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 991.4 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 991.4, so we can write it down as 100%=991.4.
4. We know, that x% equals 562.7 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=562.7.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=991.4
2) x%=562.7
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%=991.4/562.7
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 562.7 is what percent of 991.4

100%/x%=991.4/562.7
(100/x)*x=(991.4/562.7)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7618624489071*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7618624489071) to get x
100/1.7618624489071=x
56.758119830543=x
x=56.758119830543

now we have:
562.7 is 56.758119830543% of 991.4
