580.14 is what percent of 654.14 - 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 654.14 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 654.14, so we can write it down as 100%=654.14.
4. We know, that x% equals 580.14 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=580.14.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=654.14
2) x%=580.14
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%=654.14/580.14
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 580.14 is what percent of 654.14

100%/x%=654.14/580.14
(100/x)*x=(654.14/580.14)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1275554176578*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1275554176578) to get x
100/1.1275554176578=x
88.687436940105=x
x=88.687436940105

now we have:
