578.5 is what percent of 628.6 - 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 628.6 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 628.6, so we can write it down as 100%=628.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 578.5 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=578.5.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=628.6
2) x%=578.5
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%=628.6/578.5
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 578.5 is what percent of 628.6

100%/x%=628.6/578.5
(100/x)*x=(628.6/578.5)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0866032843561*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0866032843561) to get x
100/1.0866032843561=x
92.029907731467=x
x=92.029907731467

now we have:
578.5 is 92.029907731467% of 628.6
