57.9 is what percent of 1304.63 - 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 1304.63 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 1304.63, so we can write it down as 100%=1304.63.
4. We know, that x% equals 57.9 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=57.9.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1304.63
2) x%=57.9
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%=1304.63/57.9
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 57.9 is what percent of 1304.63

100%/x%=1304.63/57.9
(100/x)*x=(1304.63/57.9)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=22.532469775475*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (22.532469775475) to get x
100/22.532469775475=x
4.4380399040341=x
x=4.4380399040341

now we have:
57.9 is 4.4380399040341% of 1304.63
