582.2 is what percent of 650 - 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 650 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 650, so we can write it down as 100%=650.
4. We know, that x% equals 582.2 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=582.2.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=650
2) x%=582.2
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%=650/582.2
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 582.2 is what percent of 650

100%/x%=650/582.2
(100/x)*x=(650/582.2)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.1164548265201*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.1164548265201) to get x
100/1.1164548265201=x
89.569230769231=x
x=89.569230769231

now we have:
582.2 is 89.569230769231% of 650
