57.52 is what percent of 461.6 - 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 461.6 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 461.6, so we can write it down as 100%=461.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 57.52 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.52.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=461.6
2) x%=57.52
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%=461.6/57.52
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57.52 is what percent of 461.6

100%/x%=461.6/57.52
(100/x)*x=(461.6/57.52)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=8.0250347705146*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (8.0250347705146) to get x
100/8.0250347705146=x
12.461005199307=x
x=12.461005199307

now we have:
57.52 is 12.461005199307% of 461.6
