580.73 is what percent of 857.54 - 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 857.54 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 857.54, so we can write it down as 100%=857.54.
4. We know, that x% equals 580.73 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=580.73.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=857.54
2) x%=580.73
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%=857.54/580.73
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 580.73 is what percent of 857.54

100%/x%=857.54/580.73
(100/x)*x=(857.54/580.73)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.4766586882028*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.4766586882028) to get x
100/1.4766586882028=x
67.720456188633=x
x=67.720456188633

now we have:
