57.15 is what percent of 826.54 - 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 826.54 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 826.54, so we can write it down as 100%=826.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 57.15 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.15.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=826.54
2) x%=57.15
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%=826.54/57.15
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57.15 is what percent of 826.54

100%/x%=826.54/57.15
(100/x)*x=(826.54/57.15)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=14.462642169729*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (14.462642169729) to get x
100/14.462642169729=x
6.9143659109057=x
x=6.9143659109057

now we have:
57.15 is 6.9143659109057% of 826.54
