59.64 is what percent of 377 - 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 377 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 377, so we can write it down as 100%=377.
4. We know, that x% equals 59.64 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=59.64.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=377
2) x%=59.64
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%=377/59.64
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 59.64 is what percent of 377

100%/x%=377/59.64
(100/x)*x=(377/59.64)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=6.3212608987257*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (6.3212608987257) to get x
100/6.3212608987257=x
15.819628647215=x
x=15.819628647215

now we have:
59.64 is 15.819628647215% of 377
