576.45 is what percent of 1098 - 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 1098 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 1098, so we can write it down as 100%=1098.
4. We know, that x% equals 576.45 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=576.45.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=1098
2) x%=576.45
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%=1098/576.45
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 576.45 is what percent of 1098

100%/x%=1098/576.45
(100/x)*x=(1098/576.45)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.9047619047619*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.9047619047619) to get x
100/1.9047619047619=x
52.5=x
x=52.5

now we have:
576.45 is 52.5% of 1098
