564.25 is what percent of 999 - 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 999 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 999, so we can write it down as 100%=999.
4. We know, that x% equals 564.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=564.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=999
2) x%=564.25
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%=999/564.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 564.25 is what percent of 999

100%/x%=999/564.25
(100/x)*x=(999/564.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.7704918032787*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.7704918032787) to get x
100/1.7704918032787=x
56.481481481481=x
x=56.481481481481

now we have:
564.25 is 56.481481481481% of 999
