595.43 is what percent of 640 - 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 640 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 640, so we can write it down as 100%=640.
4. We know, that x% equals 595.43 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=595.43.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=640
2) x%=595.43
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%=640/595.43
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 595.43 is what percent of 640

100%/x%=640/595.43
(100/x)*x=(640/595.43)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.0748534672422*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.0748534672422) to get x
100/1.0748534672422=x
93.0359375=x
x=93.0359375

now we have:
595.43 is 93.0359375% of 640
