588.69 is what percent of 337.6 - 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 337.6 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 337.6, so we can write it down as 100%=337.6.
4. We know, that x% equals 588.69 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=588.69.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=337.6
2) x%=588.69
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%=337.6/588.69
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 588.69 is what percent of 337.6

100%/x%=337.6/588.69
(100/x)*x=(337.6/588.69)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=0.57347670250896*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.57347670250896) to get x
100/0.57347670250896=x
174.375=x
x=174.375

now we have:
588.69 is 174.375% of 337.6
