578.33 is what percent of 719 - 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 719 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 719, so we can write it down as 100%=719.
4. We know, that x% equals 578.33 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=578.33.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=719
2) x%=578.33
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%=719/578.33
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 578.33 is what percent of 719

100%/x%=719/578.33
(100/x)*x=(719/578.33)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.2432348313247*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.2432348313247) to get x
100/1.2432348313247=x
80.435326842837=x
x=80.435326842837

now we have:
578.33 is 80.435326842837% of 719
