571.63 is what percent of 597 - 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 597 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 597, so we can write it down as 100%=597.
4. We know, that x% equals 571.63 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=571.63.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=597
2) x%=571.63
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%=597/571.63
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 571.63 is what percent of 597

100%/x%=597/571.63
(100/x)*x=(597/571.63)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.044381855396*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.044381855396) to get x
100/1.044381855396=x
95.750418760469=x
x=95.750418760469

now we have:
571.63 is 95.750418760469% of 597
