569.4 is what percent of 146 - 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 146 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 146, so we can write it down as 100%=146.
4. We know, that x% equals 569.4 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=569.4.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=146
2) x%=569.4
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%=146/569.4
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 569.4 is what percent of 146

100%/x%=146/569.4
(100/x)*x=(146/569.4)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.25641025641026*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.25641025641026) to get x
100/0.25641025641026=x
390=x
x=390

now we have:
569.4 is 390% of 146
