580.51 is what percent of 149.045 - 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 149.045 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 149.045, so we can write it down as 100%=149.045.
4. We know, that x% equals 580.51 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=580.51.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=149.045
2) x%=580.51
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%=149.045/580.51
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 580.51 is what percent of 149.045

100%/x%=149.045/580.51
(100/x)*x=(149.045/580.51)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.25674837642762*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.25674837642762) to get x
100/0.25674837642762=x
389.48639672582=x
x=389.48639672582

now we have:
