563.48 is what percent of 582 - 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 582 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 582, so we can write it down as 100%=582.
4. We know, that x% equals 563.48 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=563.48.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=582
2) x%=563.48
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%=582/563.48
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 563.48 is what percent of 582

100%/x%=582/563.48
(100/x)*x=(582/563.48)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0328671825087*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0328671825087) to get x
100/1.0328671825087=x
96.817869415808=x
x=96.817869415808

now we have:
563.48 is 96.817869415808% of 582
