59.26 is what percent of 615.74 - 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 615.74 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 615.74, so we can write it down as 100%=615.74.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.26 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.26.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=615.74
2) x%=59.26
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%=615.74/59.26
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.26 is what percent of 615.74

100%/x%=615.74/59.26
(100/x)*x=(615.74/59.26)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.390482618967*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.390482618967) to get x
100/10.390482618967=x
9.6241920291032=x
x=9.6241920291032

now we have:
59.26 is 9.6241920291032% of 615.74
