605.25 is what percent of 825 - 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 825 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 825, so we can write it down as 100%=825.
4. We know, that x% equals 605.25 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=605.25.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=825
2) x%=605.25
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%=825/605.25
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 605.25 is what percent of 825

100%/x%=825/605.25
(100/x)*x=(825/605.25)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=1.363073110285*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (1.363073110285) to get x
100/1.363073110285=x
73.363636363636=x
x=73.363636363636

now we have:
605.25 is 73.363636363636% of 825
