585.88 is what percent of 2560 - 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 2560 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 2560, so we can write it down as 100%=2560.
4. We know, that x% equals 585.88 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=585.88.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=2560
2) x%=585.88
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%=2560/585.88
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 585.88 is what percent of 2560

100%/x%=2560/585.88
(100/x)*x=(2560/585.88)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=4.3694954598211*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (4.3694954598211) to get x
100/4.3694954598211=x
22.8859375=x
x=22.8859375

now we have:
585.88 is 22.8859375% of 2560
